So you were going through that list.

Were you able to get through it?

So yeah, just the-

We got a little sidetracked.

I had the first one. Yeah, the first one was the greet, greet talk Were you able to get through it? So yeah, just the, we got a little sidetracks.

I had the first one, yeah, the first one was the greet, greet talk and sing and pray if that's your verbiage for it.

To the plants and animals that you're harvesting.

Anything else, you know, if you're harvesting rocks for flint napping or any sort of non-living thing, water, don't know. You can do the same thing. So harvesting sites, there are a lot of sites that are still used by native people and a lot of

their, a lot of legalities around state, county, federal harvesting. So knowing all of the

legalities, knowing if the harvest site is one that's used contemporarily by indigenous people, those are super important things to know before you harvest a thing.

But really, one of our key things of the ethical foraging is start with invasives.

So invasives are plants that are adapted to, you know, oftentimes the soil conditions that have been already disturbed by civilization.

And if you read Dowell Ryan's book Beyond the War on Invasive Species, it's an in-depth analysis of that amazing book.

So there's lots of invasive species that don't have essentially natural predators to limit their population growth.

So by living in a place that has been colonized through habitat loss and all these other things,

there's loads of invasive species here.

So I don't have to feel like I'm necessarily appropriating or affecting the native plants of an ecosystem

if I just start with invasives.

And every invasive plant has either a

medicinal or edible quality. They just do. Or craft, you know, so English ivy is the thing I started

working with to weave baskets with. And it's also a medicine. So I don't understand. I'm not a,

I'm not a plant medicine person. I don't know how to make the medicine. I'm a basket weaver.
