Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants<\/em><\/p>\n

This is event is presented in partnership with the KU Common Book Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEven a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift,\u201d writes Robin Wall Kimmerer in\u00a0Braiding Sweetgrass<\/em>. This fascinating and thought-provoking collection of essays weaves together botany, the teachings of Indigenous peoples, and Kimmerer\u2019s own experiences as a mother, teacher, and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Her essays explore the intertwined relationship between humans and the countless plant species that co-inhabit our planet, considering ways we can learn from plants as we seek to build a more sustainable world.\u00a0Braiding Sweetgrass<\/em>\u00a0takes on vital and timely themes such as sustainability and the value of reciprocity.<\/p>\n
