Kaya DeerInWater is a close friend of ours and we’re excited to finally have him on the show. He’s the other member of our graduate cohort and we’ve wanted to have him on the show for over a year now. Kaya’s a dedicated and loving family man, he’s a brilliant botanist in the making, and he has a lot of knowledge about ecological restoration. Some of the main things we talk about today are: - Kaya’s childhood, his connection to culture, and academic background - How he got from California to graduate school in New York - Some of the challenges he faced doing his research - Where his love for plants started and made its way into his work - The usefulness of his research for other Indigenous communities - His children and the legacy he wants to leave them - Kaya’s 3 tips for being Indigenous in the modern world ~ Links & Resources: Bob Marshall Info: [Source 1](http://www.umt.edu/this-is-montana/columns/stories/bob-marshall-wilderness.php), [Source 2](https://www.bmwf.org/), [Source 3](https://www.wilderness.net/nwps/Marshall) ~ [Like this show?

Today’s episode is all about coffee. AKA: the good old morning brew—the life-saving afternoon pick-me-up—and the fabled cup of Joe. But before we get carried away with all that, we get into some stats about coffee. Then we talk about some of the challenges of its production, preparation, transportation, roasting, and selling. This is a cherished drink that's faced a lot of controversy for centuries, having associations with revolutions, addiction, mold toxins, and the all-too-common "coffee jitters". At the end of the show, we talk about Indigenous farmers using coffee as a way to become more food sovereign.

This is a live recording of Annie Sorrell and Tommy Mackey at the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) 48th Annual Conference in Lexington, Kentucky on October 17, 2019. The topic of this session was focused on the diverse interests in environmental science that have grappled with the differences between mainstream quantitative science and qualitative Indigenous science. This hands-on presentation is for education practitioners who have questions about what these differences mean for environmental education. Be sure to check out the link below to download the PowerPoint so you can follow along. Main Ideas: - importance of place - Indigenous perspectives on land - how a worldview shaped Onondaga Lake - how a worldview shaped the Mission Mountain Tribal Wilderness - moving forward with two lenses ~ Links & Resources: [NAAEE Workshop PowerPoint](https://ndnscienceshow.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/naaee-workshop.pdf) [Searching for Synergy: Integrating Traditional and Scientific Ecological Knowledge in Environmental Science Education](https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ987714) by Robin Kimmerer [Two-Eyed Seeing into Environmental Education: Revealing its "Natural" Readiness to Indigenize](https://cjee.lakeheadu.ca/article/viewFile/1071/664) by Margaret McKeon [North American Association for Environmental Education](https://naaee.org/) ~ [Like this show?
