It was for me a serendipity that an acquaintance recommended the book “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer at this particular moment in time as one year closes and another opens. The book’s subtitle is, “Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants.” Its author, Robin Wall Kimmerer, describes herself as a mother, a scientist, a professor, and a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She tells us more about herself and about the plant called sweetgrass from which we can all learn so much, and about some Indigenous ways of knowing that might help us set intentions for the year ahead.
