\nBraiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom\ , Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmere r
\nAs a botanist\, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are ou r oldest teachers. In \;Braiding Sweetgrass\, Kimmerer brings these le nses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecologica l consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our recipro cal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can h ear the languages of other beings are we capable of understanding the gene rosity of the earth\, and learning to give our own gifts in return.\nhttps://aurora.libnet.info/event/10623977 URL;VALUE=URI:https://aurora.libnet.info/event/10623977 ATTACH:https://static.libnet.info/images/events/aurora/Braiding_Sweetgrass .jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
