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.

Tommy Orange's There There introduces a brilliant new author at the start of a major career. "We all came to the powwow for different reasons. The messy, dangling threads of our lives got pulled into a braid--tied to the back of everything we'd been doing all along to get us here. There will be death and playing dead, there will be screams and unbearable silences, forever-silences, and a kind of time-travel, at the moment the gunshots start, when we look around and see ourselves as we are, in our regalia, and something in our blood will recoil then boil hot enough to burn through time and place and memory. We'll go back to where we came from, when we were people running from bullets at the end of that old world. The tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, that we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, only to die in the grass wearing feathers." Jacquie Red Feather is newly sober and trying to make it back to the family she left behind in shame in Oakland. Dene Oxedrene is pulling his life together after his uncle's death and has come to work the powwow and to honor his uncle's memory. Edwin Frank has come to find his true father. Bobby Big Medicine has come to drum the Grand Entry. Opal Viola Victoria Bear Shield has come to watch her nephew Orvil Red Feather; Orvil has taught himself Indian dance through YouTube videos, and he has come to the Big Oakland Powwow to dance in public for the very first time. Tony Loneman is a young Native American boy whose future seems destined to be as bleak as his past, and he has come to the Powwow with darker intentions--intentions that will destroy the lives of everyone in his path. Fierce, angry, funny, groundbreaking--Tommy Orange's first novel is a wondrous and shattering portrait of an America few of us have ever seen. There There is a multi-generational, relentlessly paced story about violence and recovery, hope and loss, identity and power, dislocation and communion, and the beauty and despair woven into the history of a nation and its people. A glorious, unforgettable debut"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3058762</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3058762</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Orange, Tommy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3058762105</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525520382/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1008758883</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wandering Stars]]></title><description><![CDATA["Colorado, 1864.

His younger brother Lony, suffering from PTSD, is struggling to make sense of the carnage he witnessed at the shooting by secretly cutting himself and enacting blood rituals which he hopes will connect him to his Cheyenne heritage.

Her aspirations won't ever take her far from home, and she wouldn't have it any other way. But as the rising number of missing Indigenous women starts circling closer to home, as her family becomes embroiled in a high-profile murder investigation, and as greedy grave robbers seek to profit off of what belongs to her Anishinaabe tribe, Perry begins to question everything. In order to reclaim this inheritance for her people, Perry has no choice but to take matters into her own hands. She can only count on her friends and allies, including her overachieving twin and a charming new boy in town with unwavering morals.

Thankfully she has the other outcasts of the summer program, Team Misfit Toys, and even her twin sister Pauline. Together they ace obstacle courses, plan vigils for missing women in the community, and make sure summer doesn't feel so lost after all. But when she attends a meeting at a local university, Perry learns about the "Warrior Girl", an ancestor whose bones and knife are stored in the museum archives, and everything changes. Perry has to return Warrior Girl to her tribe. Determined to help, she learns all she can about NAGPRA, the federal law that allows tribes to request the return of ancestral remains and sacred items. The university has been using legal loopholes to hold onto Warrior Girl and twelve other Anishinaabe ancestors' remains, and Perry and the Misfits won't let it go on any longer. Using all of their skills and resources, the Misfits realize a heist is the only way to bring back the stolen artifacts and remains for good. But there is more to this repatriation than meets the eye as more women disappear and Pauline's perfectionism takes a turn for the worse. As secrets and mysteries unfurl, Perry and the Misfits must fight to find a way to make things right - for the ancestors and for their community.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3810283</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3810283</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boulley, Angeline]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3810283105</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250766595/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1378162510</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gathering Moss]]></title><description><![CDATA[Living at the limits of our ordinary perception, mosses are a common but largely unnoticed element of the natural world. Gathering moss is a mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses. In this series of linked personal essays, Robin Kimmerer leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as in the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C995311</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C995311</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/995311105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780870714993/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=50761068</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-time Indian]]></title><description><![CDATA[Budding cartoonist Junior leaves his troubled school on the Spokane Indian Reservation to attend an all-white farm town school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3248510</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3248510</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alexie, Sherman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3248510105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316013680/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=0154698238</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Night Watchman]]></title><description><![CDATA[It is 1953. Thomas Wazhushk is the night watchman at the first factory to open near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a prominent Chippewa Council member, trying to understand a new bill that is soon to be put before Congress. The US Government calls it an 'emancipation' bill; but it isn't about freedom - it threatens the rights of Native Americans to their land, their very identity. How can he fight this betrayal? Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Pixie 'Patrice' Paranteau has no desire to wear herself down on a husband and kids. She works at the factory, earning barely enough to support her mother and brother, let alone her alcoholic father who sometimes returns home to bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny to get if she's ever going to get to Minnesota to find her missing sister Vera. ]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3256934</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3256934</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Erdrich, Louise]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3256934105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062671189/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1140871377</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-time Indian]]></title><description><![CDATA[Budding cartoonist Junior leaves his troubled school on the Spokane Indian Reservation to attend an all-white farm town school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C2454476</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C2454476</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alexie, Sherman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2454476105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316504041/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=958780281</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Firekeeper's Daughter]]></title><description><![CDATA[Daunis, who is part Ojibwe, defers attending the University of Michigan to care for her mother and reluctantly becomes involved in the investigation of a series of drug-related deaths.]]></description><link>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3458880</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3458880</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boulley, Angeline]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://cml.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3458880105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250766564/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1239954748</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-time Indian]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation.

She works at the factory, earning barely enough to support her mother and brother, let alone her alcoholic father who sometimes returns home to bully her for money.
