challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

This book truly deserves every ounce of praise that it has gotten.

Part memoir, part informative look at indigenous knowledge, part biology textbook, Braiding Sweetgrass weaves all of these concepts together flawlessly.  Whether exploring what indigenous knowledge has to teach us, to what has been forgotten, this book will teach you something about our natural world, our place in it, and our relationship to it.
