Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

adventurous emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

4.5

This was an amazing book. Although I do not usually read non-fiction books, this was sprinkled with Robin Wall Kimmerer's own experiences, and in that way it reminded me of a memoir. Hearing multitudes of Indigenous perspectives on nature and spirituality was so exciting to read, especially since it is often a narrative that has been suppressed in the past. I struggle reading this book because the chapters felt really long, but I liked that there was a lesson at the end of each chapter. Some of my favorite chapters were when Kimmerer took her students to the cranberry marsh for 5 weeks and her confronting Windigo. Overall a great book!
