Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants

byRobin Wall Kimmerer

Braiding Sweetgrass is Robin Wall Kimmerer's social inquiry of indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of nature and social science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
