As part of the Harvard Arboretum Director's Lecture Series, Robin Wall Kimmerer, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, will address the ecological and cultural losses of the era of Removal.
Drawing upon an old family story of how the Pecans fed her Potawatomi ancestors during the desperate times of poverty in Indian Territory, Dr. Kimmerer addresses the ecological and cultural losses of the era of Removal. From a cultural perspective that understood trees as sustainers and teachers, she imagines the lessons that the mast fruiting behavior of Pecans hold for people facing contemporary perils of climate change and social upheaval.
