On the final episode of Indigenae, cultural practitioners Kathy McCovey and Lisa Hillman teach us about Indigenous stewardship and the sacred connection between land and our physical, spiritual, and mental wellbeing.

Kathy McCovey, is a fourth-generation forester, archeologist, and Cultural Resource Specialist. She has dedicated her life to revitalizing traditional land management practices in the Karuk homelands, what is now known as Northern California.

Lisa Hillman is a renowned Karuk basketweaver - an art form that has been passed from generation to generation since time immemorial. Lisa is the founder of the Tribe’s Píkyav Field Institute, which aims to augment long-term eco-cultural revitalization for the Tribe.
