Original Text

Even our youth know how this works. So I run a summer camp for native kids where we talk about Indigenous science and how we relate to the land. So last summer, after the camp wraps up, Henry's mom calls me. He's one of the campers, he's six. And she says he's had a falling out with his best friend. They were playing outside, and the friend, who's not native, was squishing grasshoppers for fun. Henry tried to stop him, and the friend said, "They're just bugs. It doesn't matter." But Henry told him, "They're not just bugs. There are our relatives and you can't kill them." So that was the summer I had to learn how to keep grasshoppers from eating my garden with garlic spray, because every time I went to use pesticides, or something that would kill them, I thought of Henry and what kind of future we might have if we actually lived like that.
