Summer break continues, and art meets planetary health in a replayed episode with Sarah Jim. Through her paintings, Sarah reminds us of small but mighty relations.  



One of the key values of our collective is prioritizing the importance of art to an Indigenous worldview. In this episode, Hoku and Heather sat down with Sarah Jim who is a visual artist from the village of Tseycum in W̱SÁNEĆ. As a muralist, her art practice reflects the lessons she’s learned from Coast Salish mentors and from her land-based work at PEPÁḴEṈ HÁUTW, where she worked at the time of the original recording. She also talks about how art allows her to educate others about the role of the small ones – the slugs, frogs, bees, bugs, flowering plants, and medicinal plants –in planetary health.
