Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants

Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world.

Botany changed my worldview
This book really made me think about the relationship between plants and humans.  It should be beneficial to both and Native American communities knew that.

A brilliant combination of women’s struggles, wins, family and natural history.
Stories that we don't typically hear of the relationship of the American original people and the land we should all love.
