As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.

In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation". As she explores these themes, she circles toward a central argument: The awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.

all about reciprocity to the natural world through teachings of aboriginals complemented with Science. Her narration has a very nurturing tone which flows somewhat effortless in her words. Many would think this is real "hippie dippie bullshit", but I found it a valuable book with many good teachings and lessons. I highly recommend this book... in a good way.

wisdom and science.

Rarely, if ever, have I had the pleasure to listen and learn from such eloquence, wisdom and compassion. Robin literally signs insight from the pits of eco-despair and the travesties of colonization to shine as a beacon of optimism and nurture our own seeds for a positive change regardless of the depth of cynicism that lies with us who feel the pain of the planet.

This is a manifesto of humility grounding in the irreplaceable value of reciprocity for all of us to go forth amidst the complexity and become stewards, empowered by knowledge, simple actions and love.

Thank you!!
