As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings - asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass - offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return. 606 $aIndian philosophy 606 $aEthnoecology 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$aIndian philosophy. 615 0$aEthnoecology. 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 $a305.597 686 $aNAT010000$aNAT024000$aSOC021000$2bisacsh 700 $aKimmerer$b Robin Wall$f1953-$01813240 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968826103321 996 $aBraiding sweetgrass$94366159 997 $aUNINA
