#BecomingKin: An #Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future, by #PattyKrawec.

From the book’s description: “The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. . . . Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity?”

I found much of this book to be a pure meditation on what could be, and it invited me to envision a future where all life is included and all the Earth is respected. Krawec made me want it, and she made me think it is possible. And it had fascinating things to say about #water.

It may be hard, but we can do it.
