We all have ancestral narratives about people and places that have helped to form and influence us. Who, in your biological or ideological lineages, speaks to you in these times? In partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature, we're collecting and curating these responses for our websites and social media. This is new for us, so we hope you'll participate in this circle of inquiry in one or more of several ways described below.
- At the Geography of Hope Conference, we'll be writing and videoing answers to this question, which we will selectively post to our sites. Find us there and let us know your story!
- On Instagram or Facebook, post a photo of your ancestor with a short caption describing why you chose them (no more than 75 words). TAG YOUR PHOTO with #whatkindofancestor and @geography of hope conference (Facebook) or @geographyofhopemarin (Instagram).
- Read other responses and write your own on the Center for Humans and Nature's Resilient Future Questions webpage.
