Category:The Storied Landscape

Oral cultures don’t memorize facts and figures about thousands of edible and medicinal plants, or animals, or minerals. They learn stories—stories about the personalities and powers, how they relate to each other, to the world, and to the people who seek them out. Here are some photos of the spirits that shape our bioregion, as we start some new stories about our rediscovered friends.

Such stories must be told in season. In the summer, we tell stories about the Green Nation; in the fall, we tell stories about the Red Nation. Winter is the time for the Great Stories, and in spring, we tell stories about the landscape.
