Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

“Braiding Sweetgrass” exists as a gift from the world of science and Indigenous genius. Robin Wall Kimmerer generously walks her readers through the natural world and the limitations of defining it through scientific language without the wisdom of words that people who’ve been here for thousands of years speak of such things as trees and bays and mushrooms. There’s a whole new appreciation for life, in its many forms, in these pages.
