Print – The 7 Rs of a Biocultural Resurgence

As if by the hand of a master weaver, many different threads unite here into a colorful tapestry. These three print issues of Langscape Magazine explore seven important facets of a biocultural resurgence: resilience, resistance, reverence, respect, reciprocity, rights, and responsibility. This collection reveals the value of language and oral traditions, the importance of traditional knowledge and sense of place, and the need to (re)connect to biocultural heritage, other people, and the land to heal ourselves, each other, and the earth. These issues also explore Indigenous principles of Reverence, Respect, and Reciprocity as cornerstones of a biocultural worldview that recognizes the complete interdependence of people and nature, while asking how a renewed flourishing of life’s diversity in nature and culture depends on embracing our responsibilities toward one another and toward the earth. These 7 Rs help to shape a new ethic that can lay the path toward a biocultural resurgence. WordsCharactersReading time
