As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer asks questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces indigenous teachings that consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take "us on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an Indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.Indian philosophyIndigenous peoplesEcologyPhilosophy of natureHuman ecologyPhilosophyNatureEffect of human beings onHuman-plant relationshipsBotanyPhilosophyPotawatomi IndiansBiographyPotawatomi IndiansSocial life and customsIndian philosophy.Indigenous peoplesEcology.Philosophy of nature.Human ecologyPhilosophy.NatureEffect of human beings on.Human-plant relationships.BotanyPhilosophy.Potawatomi IndiansPotawatomi IndiansSocial life and customs.305.597Kimmerer Robin Wall1030396MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQCaOWtUE-BOOK9910463175603321Braiding sweetgrass2447262UNINA
