Nate Hagens interviews Robin Wall Kimmerer, plant ecologist and Citizen Potawatomi author of Braiding Sweetgrass, about what plants and Indigenous knowledge can teach a civilization in crisis. She presents plants as teachers...the Three Sisters model cooperation, and mosses show that lasting success comes from staying small and living within natural limits ... and argues the polycrisis stems from human exceptionalism, offering instead a kinship worldview, the Honorable Harvest ethic of restraint and reciprocity, and abundance as “enoughness.” Invoking the Potawatomi Seventh Fire prophecy, she calls this an “age of remembering” and urges listeners to answer despair with action in community, because “it matters where I stand.”
