Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Sky Wolf's Call: The Gift of Indigenous Knowledge tells of how different Indigenous People work with nature and preserve the knowledge of water, fire, food, healing and sky. This knowledge braids together the ideas that "Everything is connected. The world is a gift. The sacred is a vital part of knowing. We are always learning." Through the chapters these traditional ideas are explored and combined with contemporary scientific knowledge to apply these ideas of sustainability to a modern world. Designed for middle grade readers, but a wonderful book for anyone wondering how to reconnect with nature. I absolutely loved the idea of Etuapmumk or "two-eyed seeing," using the strengths of Indigenous ways of knowing combined with the scientific worldview. Each section includes stories from the author's Piikani heritage, history and knowledge of how several different Indigenous people use and protect the resource as well as profiles of contemporary keepers of knowledge for that resource. I loved the examples and pictures of how Indigenous people have worked with nature throughout history and today as well as how to keep the knowledge going.

"From healing to astronomy to our connection to the natural world, the lessons from Indigenous knowledge inform our learning and practices today. How do knowledge systems get passed down over generations? Through the knowledge inherited from their Elders and ancestors, Indigenous Peoples throughout North America have observed, practiced, experimented, and interacted with plants, animals, the sky, and the waters over millennia. Knowledge keepers have shared their wisdom with younger people through oral history, stories, ceremonies, and records that took many forms. In Sky Wolf's Call, award-winning author team of Eldon Yellowhorn and Kathy Lowinger reveal how Indigenous knowledge comes from centuries of practices, experiences, and ideas gathered by people who have a long history with the natural world. Indigenous knowledge is explored through the use of fire and water, the acquisition of food, the study of astronomy, and healing practices."-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
