Ethnobotany with Dr. Jonathan Ferrier

Dr. Jonathan Ferrier, an Anishnaabe ethnobotanist joins us to talk about post-genocide ethnobotany, what plants and the Indigenous Knowledge about them can teach us about how to survive. Dr. Ferrier has done research among the Mijikenda people in Kenya, the K'iche' Maya in Belize, and the Lukomir highlanders in Bosnia. His Anishnaabe roots inform his academic view and the importance of relationship when developing knowledge.
