As we face an ever-more-fragmented world, What Kind of Ancestor Do You Want to Be? sparks ageless-yet-urgent questions: How will I be remembered? What traditions do I want to continue? What cycles do I want to break? How do we endure? Interweaving essays, interviews and poetry, this collection includes Linda Hogan, Wendell Berry, Winona LaDuke, Vandana Shiva and Robin Kimmerer. Edited by John Hausdoerffer, Brooke Parry Hecht, Melissa K. Nelson and Katherine Kassouf Cummings.

John Hausdoerffer runs the Center for Mountain Transitions at Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado, and writes on snow as the basis of the sacred in the West.
