Good read! Love it! As a child, I loved to dress up and act like the native Americans. I was also a literal tree hugger as a child and still hug trees to this day. I am living the Hopi prophecy rock.

It’s very reassuring to note that the social scientists chose the Native Americans view.

I must learn more.

Thanks for reading and sharing your experiences. I shared a few pages from another book that may resonate with you called "Rooted" in this post: https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/a-few-books-i-am-currently-readingre

Here is a link to the particular image where the author of Rooted talks about Hugging Trees and shares some perspectives from Thích Nhất Hạnh on the subject of hugging.
