We’re reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center. On Saturday, May 10, join us for Books and Banter, our new book club! We’ll come together to discuss Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, 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. Braiding Sweetgrass 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. The book received largely positive reviews, and has appeared on several bestseller lists. Kimmerer is known for her scholarship on traditional ecological knowledge, ethnobotany, and moss ecology.
