Genuinely a life-changing book. Inspires me and shows me new way for me to return to studying and practicing ecology. 

I highly recommend the audiobook because it is read wonderfully by the author.

5.0

This book truly deserves every ounce of praise that it has gotten.

Part memoir, part informative look at indigenous knowledge, part biology textbook, Braiding Sweetgrass weaves all of these concepts together flawlessly.  Whether exploring what indigenous knowledge has to teach us, to what has been forgotten, this book will teach you something about our natural world, our place in it, and our relationship to it.
