Season 8 Wrap

Keeping Things Alive Podcast

Season 8 has come to a close! Listen to Laura reflect on each episode and themes that came up this season, which ran from June to November 2023. At the 41:24 mark, Laura switches gears and discusses the ongoing injustices and habitat destruction from the WNY STAMP (Western New York Science & Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park) project in Genesee County, which threatens the Tonawanda Seneca's Big Woods, a biodiverse and culturally significant place. Laura reads the recent article written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, titled "Stand for Indigenous Land Justice: Stop STAMP," which was recently published in Yes! Magazine (https://www.yesmagazine.org/opinion/2023/11/01/ny-native-stamp-seneca). Thank you for a wonderful season, and see you next year!
