Episode notes

In episode one, we talked about this modern, short sighted, aggressive, exploitative relationship with the rest of the natural world as a recent departure for our species. When jessica hernandez and other indigenous people talk about land back, they are talking about several kinds of restoration. It's not that all settlers need to go away, but colonialism does. And dismantling of white supremacy is also a recent arrival along with our settler ancestors.

In our Season 5 finale: What’s the cultural transformation we need to make — in the West, and the U.S. in particular — to live in good health with the rest of the natural world and with each other? Episode 11 of The Repair, our series on the climate emergency.
