Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimm
erer: Kimmerer uses sweetgrass as both an
example and a metaphor to illustrate the reciproc
al relationship between Indigenous peoples and the
land. She challenges readers to rethink their ass
umptions about nature and to embrace a way of livi
ng that respects the Earth's generosity. Practices
such as cycling to reduce emissions\, recycling\,
and consuming more thoughtfully become part of a
broader philosophy of living in harmony with the n
atural world rather than simply taking from it.
\n
\n You can find a copy of this bo
ok at UBC Library or VPL. If you're having trouble
finding it\, feel free to reach out to us at programs@t
hebikekitchen.ca\, we'd be happy to help!!
