Braiding Sweetgrass
by Robin\nWall Kimmerer
Drawing on her life as an\nindigenous scientist\, a mother\, and a woman\, Kimmerer shows how other living\nbeings—asters and goldenrod\, strawberries and squash\, salamanders\, algae\, and\nsweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons\, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear\ntheir voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of\nTurtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today\, she circles\ntoward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological\nconsciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal\nrelationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the\nlanguages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of\nthe earth\, and learn to give our own gifts in return.
