Dr. Shakara Tyler: “The sugarbush process is a sacred ritual where we commune with our trees as ancestors, as the kin that they are, as they gift the sap to us. […] Sap is not just something we consume because it tastes good. This is a very spiritual process where we can honor our sacred histories and honor the ancestral energy that’s present.”
