Speaker: Hugh Taft-Morales
Many of our harvest-season traditions have been crafted through selective appropriation of Native American culture. That culture informs how we frame our Thanksgiving holiday and the gratitude we profess—for nature’s gifts, in particular. Drawing on Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book Braiding Sweetgrass, Hugh Taft-Morales explores the potential for transcending superficial appropriation and achieving a deeper understanding of relationships, sustainability, and our place in the natural world. Hugh Taft-Morales is Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society, a humanist community dedicated to honoring the worth and dignity of every human being, cultivating character, nurturing ethical relationships and caring networks, building community capacity, and social justice.
