As Long as Grass Grows connects Native American resistance to US colonialism - both past and present - with the modern movement for environmental justice and climate resilience, centering the voices and wisdom of Indigenous peoples at the center of society's fight for the health of our planet. An incredibly valuable read for anyone interested in these issues, especially for non-Indigenous environmental and conservation organizations looking to challenge the status quo.
