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

5.0

Fuck you, my ancestors! How could you mess up this world with your misplaced values so much?

Indigenous wisdom makes a million times more sense. For the people and the planet. Why did exploitation, competition, and hatred have to win?
So sad.

This wonderful book shows a perspective on how the world could have looked like without the genocide against the Native Americans and without the rise of individualistic and capitalistic values.
Just beautiful.

It also gives advice for how we can rethink our relationship with the living and non-living beings around us. I believe a better world is possible, I just don't know how to get there exactly.
