I loved this book. It inspired me to more consciously reframe my relationship with the natural world.

I think that this is a book that I need to revisit before writing an extended review about it. I loved the writing so much, and I think if I had been more in the mood for this kind of book at the time, I would have retained so much more.

This book was beautifully written and narrated. I appreciated learning about indigenous culture and stories and how they are imperative to our world and environment today. Thinking about plants with the same amount of humanity that we would think about a person was a mind shift for me.
Something else that struck a cord in me was despair which leads to inaction. I’ve been feeling paralyze and apathetic since the last election. Like the future is already written. This has lite a fire in me.
Thank you for inviting us into understanding your culture and teachings and the true history of America and the indigenous nations.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and it gave me a lot to think about in regards to our relationship with the earth in a time when the ideas of gratitude, sustainability and reciprocity are sneered at and seen as antithetical to the march of capitalistic progress. Reflecting on these ideas felt like a palate cleanser in these often nasty, self-centered times. But I also struggled somewhat to get through this collection of essays, where it started to get repetitive and tread the same ground - I felt like it could have easily been edited to be 100 pages shorter and accomplished the same goal. And I am not sure what the message is in the end - there wasn't really any call to action for the reader other than general gratitude for what the earth provides, and a fantasy of the culture of greed... poisoning itself? Hmm. But I did enjoy quite a few of the individual essays, and the marrying of traditional and scientific approaches to nature.
