Native & Indigenous American History Month honors the history, culture, and contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives. We continue to be inspired by our SHU Reads! book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by indigenous scientist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer. Here are some upcoming events inspired by Kimmerer's ethic of reciprocity, sustainability, interconnectedness, and gratitude:
