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

5.0

---

this book really transformed how I think about ecology and human beings’ relationship to the earth. The author’s voice is steeped in wonder and fascination as she weaves stories of science, indigenous knowledge, and accounts from her own life together. Her writing is incredibly beautiful and informative, but more importantly it is incredibly moving. The teachings of this book will stay with me forever.
