Abstract

Through a conversational interview format “Sugar Maple Tree, Terracotta Brick, O Computador, e Eu” discusses post-humanist perspectives, defines multidimensionalism and aims to begin conversations concerning local ecological learning, digital dimensions and portals. Through this conversation with a sugar maple tree, terracotta brick and a computer, there is an opportunity to learn and connect in pursuit of a more equitable future. The land which much of this research is closely tied to was stolen from the Haudenosaunee, Onöndowa' ga (Seneca), and the Susquehannock Peoples. I present this work with recognition of what had happened and appreciation for the privilege of having access to this land.
