Description

Braiding Sweetgrass weaves Indigenous wisdom with scientific knowledge to show how recognizing our reciprocal relationship with the living world can awaken ecological consciousness. Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, argues that listening to the languages of other beings—plants, animals, and ecosystems—helps us understand the Earth's generosity and learn to give our own gifts in return.
