SYNOPSIS
Facing a climate crisis, the Reciprocity Project embraces the Indigenous value systems that have bolstered communities since the dawn of humanity. To heal, we must recognize that we are in relationship with the Earth, a place of balance before the modern industrial age. In Season 1 of the Reciprocity Project, storytellers and knowledge bearers answer the question, “What does ‘reciprocity’ mean to your community?”
