Aunties on Air Episode 25: Celebrating the Gifts of Mother Earth: Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
The Aunties welcome the love, values, and reciprocity to the studio today! We are forever grateful for all the gifts that Mother Earth provides. We welcome into the studio, Gretchen and Daniel, the leaders of the coastal Maine botanical gardens. These two leaders have been leading the way for many years. We work with them closely to celebrate the contributions of Wabanaki thought and learning. As we continue to grow in both inspiration and strategy, we welcome you to explore all the learnings that are present.
