122. “All Our Relatives”—Learning to be Part of Creation, with Lenore Three Stars

This is a podcast interview that took place almost five years ago. We’ve chosen to air that episode again because it really speaks about the formative stages of the Earthkeepers podcast, and serves as a reminder that one of our core purposes has always been, even from the very beginning, to give more air space to “corrective voices from the margins” as often as we can. And that includes Indigenous voices.  

In this episode Forrest talks with Lenore Three Stars. Lenore is a member of the board for Circlewood—and Circlewood, as you may know, is the larger creation care community to which the Earthkeepers belongs. In many ways, Lenore has had a shaping influence on the priorities and values of this podcast. In particular, as a member of the Lakota people, she has helped us to understand and embrace elements of an indigenous world view.
