We are Rachel's Network.

Ongoing Weekly Gatherings, Tuesdays at 2 pm ET; June 1 – August 3

Dive deep into Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants with fellow Rachel’s Network members. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. Purchase the book on your own, join when you can.

For the Yup’ik people in Southwest Alaska and the Yorok in Northern California, salmon fishing is a way of life. 2020 Catalyst Award winners Amy Cordalis (Yurok) and Alannah Hurley (Yup’ik) see securing the sovereignty of their communities as inexorably linked to caring for the watersheds the salmon call home. Join this webinar to learn how Amy and Alannah have built successful alliances to protect their tribal livelihoods from industrial development, restored degraded ecosystems, and provided a blueprint for repairing our relationship to the land and each other. Moderated by Kim Milligan.
