Episode 3: Returning to the Land with Tera John & Courtney Miller
"We are still upholding our end of those treaties today. It’s not a right, it’s a responsibility." — Tera John
In this episode, we are honored to be joined by Tera John and Courtney Miller, citizens of the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. Recorded at a round table outside the Sugar Shack on the GTB reservation, this conversation dives deep into the importance of reconnecting with the land, upholding indigenous responsibilities, embracing both ancient wisdom and modern science, and the role of allyship in creating safe spaces for indigenous voices.
With Claire Wood and Jenee Rowe, Tera and Courtney share their personal journeys of healing, reconnecting with the land, and restoring their cultural practices that were nearly lost. Through their stories, learn about the significance of intergenerational knowledge, how to listen to the earth, and the power of restoring relationships with the land.
This is part of the Indigenous Knowledges Series, a project of the Leelanau Conservancy. The goal is to elevate Aanishinaabeg voices in conservation through conversation.
