Event Details
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants is a 2013 nonfiction book by Potawatomi professor Robin Wall Kimmerer, about the role of Indigenous knowledge as an alternative or complementary approach to Western mainstream scientific methodologies.
Kimmerer explores reciprocal relationships between humans and the land, with a focus on the role of plants and botany in both Native American and Western European traditions.
Beautifully written as a series of stories that appeal to a wide audience, if you are interested in understanding how a change in perspective can lead to a change in landscape, join us in this evening of conversation.
