Greg Sarris (credit Christopher Coughlin)
Caroline re-welcomes Greg Sarris, Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria
and Board Chair for Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Always – re-storying the landscape…
His most recent work:
Told in the classic style of Southern Pomo and Coast Miwok creation stories, The Forgetters story cycle about the people who have forgotten their roots and consequently hurt the Earth and each other. Masterfully infusing magical realism with the history of Indigenous lands, Sarris encourages  readers to remember our shared lineage and honor our interconnectedness with the environment. 
Greg Sarris is the award-winning author of five books, including Grand Avenue, which was adapted into an HBO film. He also co-authored the Graton Rancheria Restoration Act, which restored federal recognition to the Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo Native Americans of California.

The Visionary Activist Show – Remembering, Re-Storying

“Biomimicry,” as sine qua non for life on planet…
Again we are drawn to replay this most fantabulous show from the archives with Janine Benyus.
Benyus describes herself as “Scientist, animist, poet,” founder of Biomimicry Institute.
“Let’s learn democracy from bees! Before our arrogance destroys the bees, who truly know how to vote.”
“Range voting.” Grief and ingenuity…innovation & limits
From Fall 2008 – but so powerfully pertinent to now…
