In this episode I speak with author Wendy Makoons Geniusz about Anishinaabe botanical knowledge in terms of how colonization affects the Anishinaabeg botanical teachings. Makoons provides examples of how colonizers usurp indigenous botanical knowledge to continue to fuel their imperialistic efforts, even to current times. Also, learn about efforts currently taking place of indigenous people reclaiming botanical knowledge.
