Braiding Sweetgrass is such a beautiful book. I am treasuring every moment reading it. I don't want it to end, but it will.

And very much looking forward to Moon of the Turning Leaves, with a May release. *crosses fingers*

app.thestorygraph.com/books/e0

It's Waubgeshig Rice's sequel to Moon of the Crusted Snow.

This was the first book I finished reading during 2020 lockdown, even though it's a and we were living in one. (Are living in one. Sorry.) So eerie I can't forget it.

yourforestpodcast.com/good-fir - a podcast about tending the land with fire and other natural wisdom by experienced elders, younger native people, and scholars, mostly indigenous. I was a little curious about how people traditionally used fire in their farming. Now, I'm a believer.

I learned that some native people do a "cultural" burn after they know the land and for something specific in the landscape, e.g., a species or just the whole system, but not all native people do a "cultural" burn. A human-managed forest has trees that are spaced out. One thing this does is allow precipitation to reach the soil and the roots.

I also learned that intentional fires are not just for preventing catestrophic burns that ruin the topsoil. Burning an area causes native plants and grasses to emerge. I bet you can easily raise plants from seed in a swidden. A burned area stays thinned out for eight years. They burn next to something green, next to water, or when rain is imminent. Those with traditional experience say it will go out eventually. People also burn to prevent ticks.

I had to search for a video that they mentioned in season 2, episode 3, but I'm not sure if I found it. Here is what I found: Gathering Voices Society on Vimeo, vimeo.com/user105935556.

Here's a fire-related quote that I've posted before:

"low-intensity fires were created in such a way that they did not get out of hand and did not harm trees and other large vegetation. Burning released nutrients to the soil, stimulated regrowth—which provided forage for game and other wildlife—and prevented a buildup of fuel, which would otherwise result in disastrous wildfires. It also created and maintained prairies and meadows, increased the abundance of food-producing bulbs and grasses, enhanced the density and diversity of plants, reduced competition, and helped control insects and disease."

"The effect of these practices ... was to maintain large and small areas at a mid-succession stage by simulating natural disturbance. The disturbances often reduced the dominance of existing communities, creating openings for colonization by other species. While the biomass was reduced temporarily, it was more than made up for by the increased vigor of the new growth. Some areas were burned every two or three years, others every five or six, while others were burned every fifteen years or so." (One-Straw Revolutionary, chapter five)

A similar podcast is The Big Burn, laist.com/podcasts/the-big-bur, but only the third and fourth episodes contain indigenous knowledge.

I read that southeast North "American" natives used to burn underbrush, grass, and weeds, too. ("Native American 'Garden Agriculture' in Southeastern North America" by C Margaret Scarry and John F Scarry from World Archaeology, Vol 37, No 2 (Jun 2005) jstor.org/stable/40024233)

Am learning a lot from reading 'The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Thinking to Change Your Life;' by Paul Callaghan and Uncle Paul Gordon. This page so apt for today.

The One Dish One Spoon Treaty of 1701:

"Canonized as an Indigenous Law, it is an agreement for sharing hunting territory among two or more nations:

Those ancestors recognized all people eat out of the single dish, that is, all hunting in the shared territory. One spoon signifies that all peoples sharing the territory are expected to limit the game they take and leave enough for others, and for the continued abundance and viability of the hunting grounds into the future."

in

I can only imagine what it would have been like to live in a society that valued the sharing and stewardship of resources rather than the gluttony of extreme extraction that we are in the middle of today.

This summer I read "Indian Horse", a novel by Richard Wagamese. It was good, and quite a twist to the plot.

It's about a boy who grows up in residential school, and who plays hockey.

I learned a bit about life before residential school, life in residential school, playing hockey in minor leagues, and the difficulty of growing up in those settings.

It's time for another quote! Seriously, if you haven't read yet but you want to know more about and the movement, this is a GREAT book to start with.

"The psychosis of Indian hating is one born of the self-loathing of your role in destroying another person, theft and destruction of a people. That's what people have in the north [in the context of this chapter, she's specifically talking northern Michigan, but I feel this also applies to other places like my country of Canada]. They know that what has happened to Native people is wrong, but it's uncomfortable to deal with what justice looks like, or perhaps to come to terms that we all drink the same water, so the Crazy Indian hating behavior continues. That's the Deep North."

Another wow book, gleaned from the list of indigenous sci-fi/fantasy I posted a few days ago. The author here is an Australian Aboriginal woman.

This quote gives me goosebumps.

"To me, it was in the camps at Standing Rock that we remembered what it feels like to be free. We remembered what it was like to create a village of thousands of people, a powerful Indigenous space that welcomed people of all different colors and nations. And we remembered what it feels like to create the infrastructure we need to care for ourselves entirely outside the colonized money economy - - to feed and clothe our people, to have stable housing and quality medical care for everyone, to have control of our children's upbringing, to practice our spirituality freely and share our stories unafraid."

One of my bigger writing regrets was not finishing and submitting a story for Shane Hawk's Never Whistle At Night anthology. I think I purposefully made the story increasingly ambitious in order to sabotage myself because that's just what writers do.

Anyway, that's over a year ago now, but I do want to promote the anthology still because I think it'll be pretty great and a great way to and support and

"Two lessons I take from one of my great teachers, Wes Jackson of the Land Institute. As you contemplate your choices, mill about. That is to say, if you can live in your one acre, do so, mill about on that one acre, and do not move. Perhaps that lesson is to live simply and care for the place you know so that those who follow can live there too."
