What does stewardship actually mean when humans are part of the system—not separate from it?

Reclaiming Stewardship: Ethics, Food, and Land in a Disconnected World explores what happens when we reconsider our relationship with land, food, animals and one another—not as abstract environmental questions, but through the practical realities of living and working within a place.

Drawing from our work in land-based education, food systems, hunting and whole-animal use, ecological stewardship, Indigenous knowledge, community practice and cultural revitalization, the book examines the growing distance between modern ideas about nature and the realities of actually participating in ecological systems.

It asks difficult questions about what we eat, what we protect, what we kill, what we waste, what we call “natural,” and what responsibilities come with belonging to a place.

At its heart, Reclaiming Stewardship is about rebuilding relationship: between people and land, humans and other species, knowledge and practice, and responsibility and action.

We acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the stolen, ancestral and traditional territories of the Straits Salish peoples on the Island called S,ḴŦAḴ in SENĆOŦEN, the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. 

The name "Tsi Tesakotitsén:tha” was given to us by a Tuscarora Elder who has known Susheela since 1986 in Kahnawake (Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk territory) and suggested we create the space for “The Place That Heals You”. The Kanien'kehá:ka spelling was provided to us by a dear friend who still lives in Kahnawake. We are honoured to use the name and would also welcome a SENĆOŦEN translation of the name to respect the land we’re on and the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
