Exploring Land Healing and Restoration Perspectives

This chapter delves into contrasting views on land healing, comparing Western concepts like 'restoration' with indigenous perspectives that emphasize interconnectedness with the environment. Discussions include post-wildfire restoration efforts in Stathlium territory, advocating for ecological reconciliation and the creation of new stories for the future. The dialogue highlights the complexities of restoring the land to a previous state amidst changing climates and challenges the traditional narrative of a 'natural state' in land management.
