Revisado en España el 28 de octubre de 2021

As the world wakes to the knowledge that the wisdom of our elders matters, this book describes why. The writing is delicious. It may relate to specific people's & places, but it's a worldwide truth. For those of us in countries where industry has been king for 2 or 3 centuries, we may need to dig a bit deeper to reveal truths, but we need to do so now. Braiding Sweetgrass gives me the will to try!

The author takes us on a journey of learning and reflection. She transmits her deeply rooted love and respect for nature and community, and makes us question our way of life. Certainly well worth reading.

This is a truly exceptional book. It is a letter of love, respect and gratitude to our Mother Earth. It is a prescription for how to restore our world and take the right path and turn back from the brink of our own destruction. The author puts her message across with gentleness and grace; this by no means lessens its impact.

Wall Kimmerer draws on her own life experiences and her half North American Indian and half white settler ancestry. Her writing blends her academic botantical scientific learning with that of the North American indigenous way of life, knowledge and wisdom, with a capital W. She brings us fair and square to our modus operandi of live for today who cares about tomorrow, our throwaway society and our greed that can never be sated. It is clear that by comparison with our indigenous brotherhood we are absolutely the younger brother; the loafing teenager with no respect for anything their elders have to tell them, but rather thinking they know everything and they know best.

The author, rightly in my opinion, says that all of the messages that we receive, practically on a daily basis, about the destruction that we have so far wrought to our home planet do not in fact spur us into action, but rather send those that care into a frozen state of despair. Her idea is rather to take relative baby steps to try to restore landscapes local to us. She gives an example of a wrecked landscape local to her that people are gradually trying to rescue and bring back to life with some success. It is also about developing a creed of gratitude and reciprocal relationship to our environment, only taking what is needed and never more. Wall Kimmerer gives plenty of examples of how this can be done.

She is never sanctimonious and is the first to acknowledge that it is far easier to write about the correct way to live than to actually live it.

For all who care about our planet and nature and for all who wish to learn about the balanced life that the North American Indians lived before the white settlers destroyed their culture and way of being, I would highly recommend this book to you.

A tour de force that you need to read

I am a female forest firefighter in Northern Ontario Canada and this book came with me all fire season this year as my pleasure reading while out in the bush, and is now fully battered and loved and has ashy fingerprints ground into every page. I've always been a biology nerd and adore living and working in the bush , but this book managed to open my eyes and I felt like I was seeing everything in technicolor for the first time this year. The way I concieve of myself in relation to the natural world, as well as the philosophy from which I now interact with my environment on a daily basis has been completely revolutionized by this book. The very way that I walk through the woods is now different. Written with a fierce and honest beauty, Kimmerer's elegantly balanced prose is somehow ornate yet minimalistic all at once,. Her intersecting identities as indigenous, woman, mother, poet, and acclaimed biologist are all woven together in a beautiful tapestry in this work, which is itself a truly wondrous and sacred offering to creation. Her weaving together of traditional indigenous knowledge corroborated by today's biology has made the science of plants and ecosystems come alive for me in a way I've never experienced. It is now my favourite book of all time and I will read it again and again as long as I live and work in the forest. I encourage this book for literally anyone who even remotely 'enjoys the outdoors' or 'cares about the environment', especially those who live in North America and probably do not know nearly enough about the cosmology of the original peoples of this land. This land has rules, rules that indigenous people know and learned and honour and abide by, and we are all (uninvited and very violent settler colonizer) guests in this land and we have never bothered to learn the rules and customs and natural order of this place. She provides an excellent way forward for settlers who want to learn more and try to honour our precious environment and the land here and live right, without just co-opting or appropriating from native culture to try and do so. It's a complicated dilemma, how we can try to belong here in a place that our ancestors stole and colonized. But she handles that delicate dance with both grace and firm conviction. I wish this was required reading in highschools across the continent. I know I will be buying multiple copies over the years to give away!

My desert island book!

Revisado en Reino Unido el 25 de enero de 2021

I love this book. My all time favourite. A book full of information about ecology and botanical science, written in a beautiful, readable style. A rare combination of science, with native wisdom and knowledge.

If I was marooned on a desert island, this would be the book I'd take. It's taught me that even if there were no other humans or animals about, I'd never need feel alone, if trees and plants were present. A great reminder that we humans have no more important a place, than any other species on this beautiful planet. I am so grateful and glad I read it.

This women is simply extraordinary. She writes with kindness and elegance, she writes with her heart and her soul. I have learned so much from her words and wisdom, it opened my eyes, made me realize; I want to be a part of the ecological solution;. Which is why after finishing my Indigenous Studies, I have been accepted in Environmental Sciences. This book changed my life.

Beautiful, gentle stories of reciprocity with life

I am not halfway through yet, and already am feeling very moved by the beautiful writing, storytelling and blend of knowledge from science, indigenous ways and intimate personal experience. I am already recommending it to friends, many of us who are growing in our understanding of our part in a greater web of life - and in need of positive reminders in a time when the approach of humans at a top of a hierarchy that places the rest of life in a position of relative values as resources or hindrances to us has led to environmental crisis. This book touches me in many ways.

Robin Wall Kimmerer draws together her scientific knowledge as a botanist and ecologist, her indigenous wisdom as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and her depth of experience as a mother and a teacher. Her collection of essays teach us how to become closer to nature, and are often heartbreaking in what they reveal about how disconnected we have become, and the damage we have done, to the natural world. This book is beautifully written, and I learned something from each essay. An instant favourite.
