The title of their film comes from my essay, “Openings: Freeing Space for a New Cosmology,” first published in Dark Mountain issue five, then reprinted in Walking on Lava and in volume 20:2 of “Green Spirit” magazine. The essay will also appear in my forthcoming book, “Wild Integrity: An Essay Tree.”

https://www.corvallisadvocate.com/2018/champinefu-lecture-series-finale/ takes you to the “Champinefu Lecture Series Finale” article in the December 5, 2018 issue of the Corvallis Advocate. In this article, my idea of landcestry is cited by David Harrelson of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde in reference to the concept of tracing inheritance not through common blood, but through common placement. Thus, our landcestors are our predecessors in place. This term was first published in the “Place Where You Live” department of the Autumn 1996 issue of Orion magazine. It is explored further in an essay entitled “Threads” that will appear in my forthcoming book, Wild Integrity: An Essay Tree.
