“In indigenous
ways of knowing, all beings are recognized as non-human persons, and
all have their own names. It is a sign of respect to call a being by
its name, and a sign of disrespect to ignore. Words and names are the
ways we humans build relationship, not only with each other, but also
with plants.”
