The Eyes of Ancestors (Payette National Forest, Idaho)
Leaning against a ponderosa on a ridgeline, CMarie watches a storm roll in. CMarie knows this storm, this nature, has something to teach her. The flowers on the mountainside opposite look like eyes; like the eyes of her ancestors, asking her to learn from and fight for nature. This episode takes place on Nimiipuu, Tukadeka, and Shoshone Bannock homelands. Do you want to reach out to the team? Email us at terrafirma@cpr.org.
