How attaching kinship to land can help biodiversity | Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen | TEDxTralee

Rune is a Danish Historian of Religion. He uses current anthropology to outline how white people can draw inspiration from indigenous thinking to understand themselves and navigate environmental collapse in non-exploitative ways. Looking at parts of European heritage with fresh eyes, people can find the wisdom of nature within their own cultures. This will guide large populations towards less destructive ways of relating to the world around them. Rune has lived and worked in many cultures, and he tries to bring their perspective to his home in Scandinavia. Thinking of Nordic culture in the same way as an Amazonian healer or a vodou priestess understand theirs opens perspectives to cultural renewal. Rune is a public intellectual who popularizes his work on Nordic animism online, through public appearances and publications. Rune is a Danish Historian of Religion.
