(Re)kindling kinship knowledges: a poetic remembering of place

This innovative research demonstrates the potential of poetic inquiry to bridge folklore, embodied knowledge, and environmental understanding. By integrating creative-practice methods with fieldwork at L'Anse aux Meadowsand other locations, the study reveals how personal, cultural, and environmental narratives shape worldviews. It challenges traditional academic frameworks by asserting the legitimacy of artistic research within folkloric studies, while also interrogating abstract heritage archives like Norse kennings and rock art. The findings underscore the significance of place-based knowledges in fostering deeper connections to both heritage and the natural environment.
