“This innovative text by Kristina Baines skillfully illuminates the role that traditional cultural practices play in maintaining the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples in the contexts of modernization, immigration, racism and discrimination, and climate change. Baines argues that rather than being a burden to overcome, embodied ecological heritage is an asset to promote and maintain health and well-being in the Anthropocene. In doing so, the text makes a compelling argument for the importance of maintaining traditional cultural and heritage practices in a world of increasingly tumultuous change and violent disruption.”—James Stinson, York University
