THE IMPORTANCE OF ROOTS FOR HUMAN WELL-BEING

with Olatokunboh Obasi

Our roots are who we are, the source of nurturing in our lives, and they affect our everyday decisions. Our roots are our cultures and our futures. If we want to live in a world with clean air, water, earth and nurturing of each other, we need to examine the roots of the land we are on and apply the indigenous wisdoms of connection to our lives. This class explores the social issues that affect our lands and how the roots of the land, indigenous people and plant remedies can support us.
