I find the indigenous wisdom and the personal examples discussed in the book interesting. However, the pacing is extremely slow, which became a problem to my listening experience. The narration just lingers on a single topic for sooooo long without adding much new to it, that I find myself not actually listening (the audio just fades into some background noice).

this book is like a hug
or a bedtime story 
it’s nurturing and nourishing
warning it is a lot of plants 
but I loved the reflections on native spirituality
skywoman, her daughter’s death, the plants that were born out of her body 
the strawbabies 🍓 
the prayer of thanksgiving and the virtue of gratitude is a life changing disposition  
to thank the earth for everything bc it all is a gift 
tbh the windigo is a great piece of lore for self-reflection; we are all capable of becoming a selfish, gluttonous monster 
it’s a reminder to learn more about native history and native stories
