Remember that MLA and APA style involve page layout, in-text citation, and the bibliography. – Both Michael Marker (“There Is No Place of Nature; There Is Only the Nature of Place: Animate Landscapes as Methodology for Inquiry in the Coast Salish Territory,” 2018) and Robin Wall Kimmerer (“Mishkos Kenomagwen: The Teachings of Grass,” 2013) critique typical academic ways of understanding place and nature, and they present Indigenous alternatives. Please write an essay in which you compare these two critiques of academic ways of understanding nature and place and the alternative views that the writers present. Your thesis statement should make a claim about how Marker and Kimmerer’s critiques and views either intersect and/or contrast.
