Creation stories : landscapes and the human imagination / by Aveni, Anthony F.,author.(CARDINAL)341479;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Drawing from a vast array of creation myths-Babylonian, Greek, Aztec, Maya, Inca, Chinese, Hindu, Navajo, Polynesian, African, Norse, Inuit, and more-this short, illustrated book uncovers both the similarities and differences in our attempts to explain the universe. Anthony Aveni, an award-winning author and professor of astronomy and anthropology, examines the ways various cultures around the world have attempted to explain our origins, and what roles the natural environment plays in shaping these narratives. The book also celebrates the audacity of the human imagination. Whether the first humans emerged from a cave, as in the Inca myths, or from bamboo stems, as the Bantu people of Africa believed, or whether the universe is simply the result of Vishnu's cyclical inhales and exhales, each of these fascinating stories reflects a deeper understanding of the culture it arose from as well as its place in the larger human narrative.

Indigenizing counseling -- ch. 6. We are of this place: integrating traditional science and health -- ch. 7. Decolonizing and indigenizing our minds for better health: Tohi -- Afterword: Listening to the sounds of Tohi / Tom Hatley."This project is the result of almost two decades of work by medical anthropologist Lisa J. Lefler and Cherokee Elder and traditionalist Thomas N. Belt. It is a "dialogue" of their interest and application of traditional indigenous knowledge and the importance of place for two people from cultures and histories that intersect in the mountains of southern Appalachia. They have worked to decolonize thinking about health, well-being, and environmental issues through the language and experiences of people whose identity is inextricably linked to the mountains and landscape of western North Carolina. In this book, they discuss the Cherokee (Kituwah) concept of health, tohi, along with other critical cultural concepts that explain the science of relationships with this world, with the spirit world, and with people. Tohi infers a more pervasive understanding that the relationships in life are all balanced and moving forward in a good way. They discuss the importance of matrilineality, particularly in light of community healing, the epistemologies of Cherokee cosmography, and decolonizing counseling approaches. They hope to offer a different way of approaching the issues that face this country in this time of difficulty and division. They share their urgency to take action against the wholesale exploitation of public lands and shared environment, to work to perpetuate tribal languages, to preserve the science that can make a difference in how people treat one another, and to create more forums that are inclusive of Native and marginalized voices and that promote respect and appreciation of one another and protection of sacred places. Throughout, they rely on the preservation of traditional knowledge, or Native science, via the language to provide insight as to why people should recognize a connection to the land. These notions are supported through insight from thinkers representing a variety of disciplines"--

The serviceberry [sound recording] : abundance and reciprocity in the natural world / by Kimmerer, Robin Wall,author,narrator.(CARDINAL)340499;

Read by the author.Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth, its abundance of sweet, juicy berries, to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival.
