Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants health and violence at the hands

and violence at the hands of those she should be able to trust

I can also get that Ferrari I’ve always wanted

Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants health and violence at the handsAs a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert).
