À propos de cet audio
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world.
As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.”
As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is “a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.” The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual.”

The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps listeners see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer.

Histoire
Many of us are living with the sense that things are not right with the world, as global problems like the pandemic, the climate crisis, polarization, and social injustice mount, leaving us in a state of spiritual PTSD. We have retreated, morally and psychologically; we are experiencing a crisis of disconnection—from one another, from our true values, from joy, and from life as we feel we are meant to be living it. Sarah Wilson argues that this sense of despair and disconnection is ironically what unites us—that deep down, we are all feeling that same itch for a new way of living.

Histoire
This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indomitable spirit.

Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times.

Explorations of caregiving, community, access, and friendship offer us alternative ways of thinking about the connections we form with others—a vital reimagining in an era when forced physical distance is at times a necessary norm.

For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew.

What a humble (tasty) berry can teach us.
A wonderful little book that highlighted the power of the tasty fruit of the Serviceberry as a metaphor and indictor of a different way to do and see economics. Especially for those who are more botanist/plant lover than Macroeconomics experts.

A breath of fresh air
In these chaotic, uncertain times, The Service Berry instills in all of us of the power we have as individuals in our own environments and communities to do the right thing and make a difference to save this beautiful place we call "Mother Earth". I will be reading this book over and over as the "unbridled capitalism" Kimmerer describes continues to outstrip earth's capacity to "replenish what we have taken." Kimmerer asks us all to take up arms - human arms that is - to share and give, be grateful and recipricate "to replenish the possibility of mutual flourishing". This beautiful book is a call for all of us to share the gifts and follow the lead of that natural world - in creating a more just world for everyone. Kimmerer was looking into the future when she wrote this book, drawing on Indigenous teachings that have guided people since time immemorial. It's a must-read for all of us looking to survive and thrive, and to fortify ourselves and our neighbours, during the difficulties of our current world.

Gift Economy inspiration
Very insightful, inspirational, and succinct. Not only is this book well written, it is the perfect marriage or tradition and science. This combination produces something credible yet accessible to reader regardless of background.
If you're as exhausted with being nothing more than a sale to those that run the western world, this is the perfect book.

Very thin anti-capitalist utopianism
This book was enthusiastically recommended to me by a dear friend but I'm afraid it is rather thin in every sense. It's only two hours, and delivered quite slowly though pleasantly by the author, so it's little more than an essay. The serviceberry conceit is quite thin and developed into the concept of an economy based on giving everything away for free (easy to do when you're a tenured professor). There are few other references to "the natural world" other than a brief mention of mycorrhizal fungi in one paragraph (though she takes no time to explain how they work).
She bases most of the book on an ahistorical utopian vision of primitive societies being based on mutual sharing and communal stewardship of natural resources. This is complete nonsense. These societies, as far as legitimate researchers can tell, were strictly hierarchical, unrelentingly violent, and drove many species (and some peoples) to extinction all over the world. She is not a historian, anthropologist, or economist, but most of this essay treats those subjects. Her identity as an indigenous person appears to be based on having one native grandparent, which entitles her to register in that tribe, and taking an online class in their language. She grew up and still lives in upstate New York, far from the rez, and has had a comfortable career in academe. Her award-winning best-sellers depend entirely on her claim to indigenous knowledge. I'm not buying it, and I'm sorry I bought the book!
