Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer
5.0
I love this book. I got lucky enough to be reading this in a book club with some of the smartest and most insightful people I know. I loved talking about all of the ideas brought up in all of these essays. I will treasure my annotated copy forever. This is my first reread and it is really interesting to see how I have integrated these ideas into my daily life and philosophy.
I really loved the essays around motherhood, I think it gave me a different perspective and a way of thinking about motherhood that isn’t rooted in racism and patriarchy, it was really valuable to me. I also just loved the ways of thinking about nature and reciprocity, how we can interact with nature in a positive way; not having to remove ourselves from the land. Just such a good book.
