CuriousG This is one of my favourite quotations. I am a teacher, so it speaks to me in general, but I use it with students when doing assignments that involve them seeking wisdom and knowledge from family and community members. It is such a nice way to reinforce connectedness in a population that often feels very disconnected from their community. ❤️ 2y

megnews @CuriousG I think it is becoming part of the human condition to feel alone in the world. I love anything that reminds us we are not. Others have gone or are going through the same thing. Talking with others authentically will show us this and help us find our way. (edited) 2y

CuriousG @megnews Agreed - the world does seems more disconnected now that we can essentially get what we want without ever even leaving our homes/interacting with other people. It is so important we do what we can to remind others of how much we benefit from both social contact and the wisdom of other humans. I'm guilty myself of wanting to retreat in tough times, but the reality is the connections with others are what get me through those times. 2y

Simplified text, illustrations & lots of white space make this important text—about Indigenous worldviews & reciprocal relationships within our environment—more accessible for young readers. That being said, I recommend sticking with the adult version for any teen who is a strong reader or has a deep interest in this topic. The adaptation emphasizes the didactic nature without the original nuance & the addition of reflection questions is annoying.

Recent research has shown that the smell of humus exerts a physiological effect on humans. Breathing in the scent of Mother Earth stimulates within us the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that plays a role in regulating mood and behaviour.
