Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer (Milkweed Editions, 2020)
In Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, professor and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer addresses all forms of ecological unbalance told through the language of plants, animals, minerals, and elements. She pairs science with Indigenous wisdom, principles, and storytelling drawn from her Potawatomi heritage, advocating for a renewed connection between humankind and nature.
