Join Dr. Maceo Carrillo Martinet, restoration ecologist, for a livestream in the bookstore to discuss his book, Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are: How Indigenous Cultural Resistance Can Restore the Earth, Recover Community, and Create Sustainable Futures, publishing June 9th.
Rooted in Indigenous wisdom and a four-element framework, this book invites readers to rediscover and re-embody the truth that caring for ourselves and caring for the living Earth are one and the same.
Healing the Land Teaches Us Who We Are helps us reconnect to the innate, embodied wisdom that many of us in modern Western society have abandoned—or been forced to forget.
Maceo Carrillo Martinet, PhD, builds on the work of Indigenous scholars like Robin Wall Kimmerer and Jessica Hernandez to share how not only are climate solutions still possible, they already exist—and they’re being practiced by communities around the world.
Martinet anchors his survey of Indigenous Earth-based practices in the foundational nature of Indigenous science, sharing how they represent sophisticated systems of engineering, science, and philosophy actively destroyed and suppressed by colonial powers. These restoration efforts invite readers not only to learn but to participate—to re-member, practice, and defend the Indigenous ways of knowing, sustaining, and resisting that are vital to our collective future.
Dr. MACEO CARRILLO MARTINET is an award-winning restoration ecologist involved in co-creating, implementing, and collaborating on community-based restoration and education projects for the past two decades. Since 2008, Dr. Martinet has worked with the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program which is dedicated to assisting private landowners, Tribes, Cities, and Counties ways to enhance and restore ecological health and biodiversity. His work as a restoration ecologist and planner has taken him across the U.S. southwest and overseas. He has been invited to serve on various advisory boards and study groups on water conservation, environmental education, and teaches a university class on watershed and community restoration.
