Stands of Resilience: How Rivercane and Indigenous Knowledge Preserve Each Other’s Survival
The story of rivercane is one of resilience, intertwined with the survival of both ecosystems and the Indigenous cultures that have depended on them. These once lush bamboo forests and grasslands that sustained the landscape, known as “canebrakes,” are now endangered. The rapid decline of this native bamboo species has had lasting consequences on the southeastern United States. Today, efforts like the Rivercane Restoration Alliance offer a chance to restore these environments and amplify the knowledge that sustains them.
