Episode 78-Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

from Reads and Weeds · host Reads and Weeds

"In Native ways of knowing, human people are often referred to as 'the younger brothers of creation'. We say that humans have the least experience with how to live and thus the most to learn. We must look to our teachers among other species for guidance." I had the pleasure of talking about this book with Sarah Nunez Bida and Luna Alexander. It is art and science and history and love of all living things. It teaches us that gratitude and reciprocity are key to preserving the planet. We didn't get around to some of the popular bookclub questions about Windigo boogeymen or the Council of Pecans. We DO want to request a way to join a field trip to learn about cattails. We DO want to know our 'siblings' better. What I hope is that this will be like a conversation that you overhear while you are going about something else and it will cause you to read the book and learn to love the earth the way the earth loves us.
