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. 606 $aIndian philosophy 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aHuman ecology$xPhilosophy 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on 606 $aHuman-plant relationships 606 $aBotany$xPhilosophy 606 $aPotawatomi Indians$vBiography 606 $aPotawatomi Indians$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aIndian philosophy. 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology. 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on. 615 0$aHuman-plant relationships. 615 0$aBotany$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPotawatomi Indians 615 0$aPotawatomi Indians$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.597 700 $aKimmerer$b Robin Wall$01030396 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aE-BOOK 912 $a9910463175603321 996 $aBraiding sweetgrass$92447262 997 $aUNINA
