Gichigami (Lake Superior) shorelines are under pressure from erosion, human development, and climate change. In this talk, Karina Heim and Rob Croll will introduce Ganawenindiwag: Working with Plant Relatives to Heal and Protect Gichigami Shorelines, a resource that encourages people to care for these shorelines by reimagining their relationships with plant beings that have long existed in this coastal landscape and that stabilize soils, provide habitats, support culture, and offer food and medicine for humans and wildlife. Local Lake Superior basin practitioners reading Ganawenindiwag (“they take care of each other” in Ojibwemowin) may find themselves thinking about plants in a different way as they encounter a cultural framing which affirms that plant beings are our elders, relatives, and teachers.
