Native American Multifaith Day

Theme: "Plants were here way before the five-finger people. They know you, have a relationship with you. It's a sense of recognizing the plants, the animals, the insects, as beings." We will spend the day together, on the land, by the ponds, the creek, sitting by the fire and around the dinner table. And we shall listen to the land and the creatures.

Leader: Donna House, an ethno botanist, grew up on a Navajo reservation in Arizona. She served as landscape architect for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. She bridges the gap between the native world view-in which human beings and nature are interrelated, and all plants, animals and mountains are sacred-and the scientific perspective of her training as an environmental scientist.
