Sitting in a Circle
We look forward to you joining us for story sharing and conversation with Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi Nation), sitting alongside with several local practitioners. Dr. Kimmerer will be joined by Institute of American Indian Arts Land-Grant staff - Paul Quintana (Cochiti Pueblo), alum Teresa Quintana (Kiowa), Melanie Kirby (Tortugas Pueblo), and Roxanne Swentzell (Santa Clara Pueblo).
The Garden will be closed from 9am to 12pm for this special event. Only registrants with confirmed reservations, including those from the waitlist who have been contacted to fill open seats, will be admitted. Following the presentation, Collected Works will have Braiding Sweetgrass available for sale and a brief signing will take place.
One Day Outdoor Story Exhibition
Excerpts from essays written by Institute of American Indian Arts students studying Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, will be on display throughout the garden.
Program details (key times, parking, COVID protocol, etc.) will be emailed to all registrants and guidelines will be included regarding how best to participate. Accessible parking and seating in the amphitheater will be provided.
