Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

5.0

i think this is the best book i’ve ever read, if not the best book ever written. a beautiful mix of memoir and history and knowledge. kimmerer takes you through the tragic massacres of the indigenous peoples, and the ways in which they have persevered and kept their culture and traditions alive. she talks about her own childhood and her relationship with the earth. this book taught me so much and also just reminded me how much i don’t know and still have to learn. i highly recommend listening to the audiobook as well, kimmerer narrates it herself and the pure passion in her words along with the poetry of her writing is so powerful. i can’t wait to read this over and over again
