An inspired weaving of indigenous knowledge, plant science, and personal narrative from a distinguished professor of science and a Native American whose previous book, "Gathering Moss," was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for outstanding nature writing.
As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. In "Braiding Sweetgrass," Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation." As she explores these themes she circles toward a central argument: the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.
Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.

我们的故事是这么说的：在所有植物中，茅香是最早种在大地上的种类，它的香气源自天女的手的甜蜜回忆。因此，它也被我的族人尊为四大神圣植物之一。嗅着它的香气，你会开始回想起那些自己在不经意间遗忘的东西。我们的长老说，仪式就是让我们“记得要去铭记”（remember to remember）的途径，因此茅香是一种能量强大的用于仪式上的植物，受到很多原住民族群的珍视。它还可以用来编织漂亮的篮子。它既是药物，也是我们的亲人，既有实际用途，也有精神价值。 (查看原文)
"Something essential happens in a vegetable garden. It's a place where if you can’t say 'I love you' out loud, you can say it in seeds. And the land will reciprocate, in beans."

因为six nation和其他indigenous的展览，接触到了这些文化，也结实了朋友。在了解文化，历史，政治之后再看这本书，是很有感触的。

她在其中谈到，自己进入森林采摘一些植物入药或当作食物时使用的方式：她会询问植物。这叫做恭敬的采收。这不仅仅是“哦，我要问植物我是否可以采摘它，如果它说不，我就不收。”它打量、观察，并尊重这些植物的生存状况。我认为这就是负责任的关系——不仅仅是对植物负责，也是对我们自己、对我们的先人前辈和子孙后代负责。
