In this episode of Return to the Fire, host Kim Carfore speaks with Chantel Noa Forbes, a transdisciplinary scholar, storyteller, and educator. They explore the intersections of ecology, spirituality, and culture, focusing on the environmental significance of decolonial and indigenous perspectives. Dr. Forbes shares her origin story, her research on the San Bushmen, and outlines a multi-species ontology. The conversation delves into the disconnect between academic theory and community needs, the concept of ontological fluidity in tracking practices, and the implications of post-humanism for future ecological relationships. They also discuss the role of indigenous sovereignty and ecological restoration in contemporary society.
