About this listen
As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.
In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation". As she explores these themes, she circles toward a central argument: The awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.

This book gave me peace.
Loved every bit of this book! So many questions answered! Beautiful writing! Kimmerer's voice was like a song to my sole. I laughed out loud and cried uncontrollably though the course of this book. It truly gave my heart the peace, and the answers my mind needed, in this crazy consumer world! Thank you Robin Wall Kimmerer for giving me the motivation to go on on my pursuit.
Magwitch!
