Like many American urban waterways, Ken-O-Sha has been in decline for nearly 200 years. Once life-supporting, the area now known as Plaster Creek is life-threatening. In this book scholars and environmentalists Gail Gunst Heffner and David P. Warners explore the area's ecological, social, spiritual, and economic history to determine what caused the damage, as well as more recent efforts to repair it. Heffner and Warners provide insight into the concept of reconciliation ecology, as enacted through their group, the Plaster Creek Stewards, and other community members who refused to accept a status quo of a contaminated creek unfit for children's play, severely reduced biological diversity, and environmental injustice. Their work reveals reconciliation ecology needs to focus not only on repairing damaged human-nature relationships but also on the relationships between groups of people, including between Indigenous people and the descendants of European colonists--
