"Hopeโ€ by definition is: โ€œA feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happenโ€.

Within the realms of the โ€œSweetgrass Methodโ€, itโ€™s an acronym, which stands for โ€œHonour Our Peoples Experienceโ€.

Dr. Mark Standing Eagle Baez introduces the acronym โ€œHOPEโ€ in his presentation, explaining it's a term coined by his wife, Dr. C Allison Baez, fitting seamlessly within the sweetgrass method.
