Chapter 2 “Council of Pecans”
Kimmerer begins this chapter by recounting the history of her tribe, forced to leave their land of origin and migrate to various places over and over again. They finally were given land in Oklahoma, where they found groves of Pecan trees. The nuts of these trees were incredibly nutritious, and provided much needed protein for Kimmerer’s ancestors (p. 11-14.)
Kimmerer then discusses “mast-fruiting” which is a process where trees will save up their energy and produce a lot of fruit in a given year, rather than just producing a few fruit each year. Kimmerer describes how this cycle of fruiting is not just a cycle of individual trees, but happens at the same time with all the trees in a grove, and in all the groves in the area. The trees behave collectively, according to Kimmerer (p. 14-15.) This collective action ensures their survival. By producing a lot of fruit in a given year, the trees ensure that at least a few fruit will survive the predators and sprout (p. 16.)
Kimmerer discusses how the Euro-Americans tried to eradicate the indigenous traditions by forcing children to go to boarding schools, where they were forced to assimilate to the Euro-American culture. But the one thing that these indigenous people never forget was the understanding that the land was sacred, and was the repository for meaning and for everything they valued (p. 17.)
Kimmerer then discusses the historical period of allotment, where Native Americans were offered individual plots of land to own (p. 18.). She describes how her tribe ignored the advice of the Pecans, which was to act collectively, and instead they choose to go with the allotment plan. After allotment many of these individual plots of land were swindled out of the hands of Indians (p. 19.)
Kimmerer explores the mechanism for synchronicity that trees use communicate with each other in order to act collectively. In traditional cultures, people understood that trees communicate, but modern science dismissed this idea because trees don’t communicate like animals (p. 19.). Kimmerer discusses the evidence that trees communicate through pheromones which are chemical compounds carried through the air (p.20.) She also discusses the possibility that trees communicate through “subterranean networks of mycorrhizae,” which are fungal strands that live on the roots of trees and connect trees to each other. This way they share food with each other, acting reciprocally (p. 20.)

Option #2 Interview with a Humanities Professional
For this option, conduct an interview with a professional who does something in the Humanities. Examples of people to interview for this assignment might include:
local religious leaders that are not the same religion as you if you practice, such as the imam of a mosque, a rabbi of a synagogue, a priest from a Hindu temple.
a local professor in a Humanities field
a local visual artist, musician, or member of a band who is somewhat well known
the curator of a local art museum or the archivist at an art museum
the educational outreach coordinator or the director of a local community arts center
a local published author or book illustrator
a director from a local theater, a member of a local improv group, or an actor who performs regularly in community theater productions
If you are not sure the person you want to interview is appropriate for this assignment, please check with your instructor.
When you have a conversation with this person, you can ask specific questions, or you can let the conversation itself lead you to the questions you want to ask. Try to focus, however, on talking about the field of the Humanities the person is in and what they do, and try to learn something new.
Using information from your interview, write a 750-1000 word report that summarizes what you learned during your interview. Do not turn in a transcript of the interview. Please try to keep your paper to 1000 words or less and consult with your instructor for what to do if you think if you think you will exceed this.
Your report should include the following.
Name and position of the person. If they are not comfortable providing this, please state this and provide some general background information about the person instead.
A description of the person’s connection to the Humanities–what are they (author, priest, director, artist etc.) including how long they have been involved with the Humanities, their training (if any) and how they got involved with the Humanities.
A description of one aspect of the interview that you found especially interesting. This is going to come from the conversation you have and the questions you ask. For example, you might write a particular piece of work by this person that struck you if they are an artist. You might write about the person’s responsibilities as an art museum curator. You might talk about the challenges of a religious leader’s responsibilities of working with many kinds of people.
A specific connection between something you learned in the interview to one specific piece of information from the class. For example, if you spoke to the lighting director of a community theater, you may have learned how they use colored lights on the stage. Then you can connect this to some of the information about color theory in the resources on Visual Arts. If you interviewed someone for a topic we have not covered yet in class, you will need to look ahead in the class to find terminology or methods from the week that covers that topic.
Highlight the connection you are making between your interview and the course material by underlining or bolding a small part of the section where you are making your connection.
Include a quote or paraphrase from the learning resources for the information you are using from class to connect to the interview.
A reflection on the relevance of your interview experience to your everyday life, to the community or locality, or to Humanities in general. Think about how the experience engaged your feelings or emotions, how the experience taught you something you really didn’t know about the Humanities, and how the experience showed you the relevance of the Humanities in the world. You can also consider what this interview informed you about yourself and human beings in general.
In text citations as needed and a bibliography with MLA citations for any references you used. One of your bibliography entries should be for the interview itself.
