Crocus' & Pokey Plants with the Plant Guy
TESSA WOLFLEG from Siksika Nation, taught us about how 'science is LIFE and Math RUNS THE WORLD,' Ancestral scientific knowledge is on "another level of thinking," her deep love for the crocus, getting punched in the face by humility, the connection between non-Native plants and trees and railroads, "Alberta is POKEY," and the harms of over-harvesting and Pan-Indigenizing.
Remember, profits from Ancestral Podcast MERCH support Knowledge Keepers & keeping the pod going
-University of Calgary,Indigenous Viewbook: University can get your brain thinking differently!
-Biogeoscience Institute: This is where Tessa realized “Indigenous knowledge is Science”
-Majorville Medicine Wheel: shows significant star locations, and solstice/equinox cycles. (beware: these articles are NOT written by local Indigenous people).Elders have said this "wheel" is older than Stonehenge, & shows the depth of science within Indigenous Knowledges.
-Ancient Indigenous Clam Farms-West Coast of Canada
-Elder in the Making
-Crocus: when you see this first flower of Spring, it is a relief, you know you have survived that winter! It is a start of a new beginning.
-being in-tune with the Land allows us to understand our needs and those of the Land.
-be careful when sharing knowledge that is gifted, there is a responsibility you have with that knowledge! Have HUMILITY and RESPECT. Many people are becoming protective of Indigenous Knowledge because of a history of exploitation, lack of protocols, overharvesting, and pan-Indigenization. Humans have to learn to adapt in a mixed world, these are shared lands with shared responsibilities.
-Invasive Species ruin the ecosystem and reduce diversity. Plant Native Plants!
-CP Railway & Invasive Species: European Fire Ants, Railroad Ecology
-Alberta Invasive Species Council
-Alberta has rank winds and is pokey, native plants have adapted to this weather!
Additional Resources:
-Popular Wildflowers of Alberta & the Canadian Rockies
-Edible & Medicinal Plants of Canada
-Alberta Wayside Wildflowers
-Alpine Plants of British Columbia, Alberta, NW America
-Kainai Plants
