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

DESCRIPTION

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a profession studying the best way to ask questions of nature utilizing the instruments of science. As a Potawatomi girl, she realized from elders, household, and historical past that the Potawatomi, in addition to a majority of different cultures indigenous to this land, take into account vegetation and animals to be our oldest academics. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of understanding collectively to disclose what it means to see people as “the youthful brothers of creation”. As she explores these themes, she circles towards a central argument: The awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. As soon as we start to hear for the languages of different beings, we are able to start to grasp the innumerable life-giving presents the world gives us and study to supply our thanks, our care, and our personal presents in return.
