A profoundly important book that both challenges and inspires the reader. I think l will be reflecting on Braiding Sweetgrass for a long time, and I hope to see its fruits in my own life (even though I don’t think I’m about to become a gardener).
Kimmerer does an incredible job of laying out the dangers of our current moment and the wisdom and intelligence of Indigenous land knowledge, all while writing an incredibly accessible book that never feels preachy. I really liked the essay style, but I do think it could be about 100 pages shorter.
