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"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C896172</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C896172</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/896172033</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781571313560/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Braiding Sweetgrass]]></title><description><![CDATA[As 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 our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass , Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise" (Elizabeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.]]></description><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C927105</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C927105</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/927105033</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781571318718/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Braiding Sweetgrass [15-COPY BOOK CLUB SET]]]></title><link>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C943520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S33C943520</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CLUB_KIT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://newwestminster.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/943520033</comments><format>BOOK_CLUB_KIT</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781571313560/MC.GIF&amp;client=nwplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Serviceberry]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, a bold and inspiring vision for how to orient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity, and community, based on the lessons of the natural world. As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth--its abundance of sweet, juicy berries--to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, "Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency." As Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is "a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world."
