BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: TRADITIONS AND LAND LOST AND RECOVERED IN MAINE

On June 1, Aaron and his brother Tim (Ike) placed half of their mother’s ashes on the rocks at Two Lights, Maine, in keeping with her final wishes.  They stood and watched as the tide came in and carried the ashes out to sea at a place where Mary Alice and their father, Allen (also Ike), had spent many happy times together.  Standing in that beautiful place, it was not difficult to imagine the first peoples who were drawn there, over 12,000 years ago.
