A Washington Post Bestseller
Named a "Best Essay Collection of the Decade" by Literary Hub
As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise” (Elizabeth Gilbert).
Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings―asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass―offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Praise for Braiding Sweetgrass
“Robin Wall Kimmerer is writer of rare grace. She writes about the natural world from a place of such abundant passion that one can never quite see the world the same way after having seen it through Kimmerer’s eyes. In Braiding Sweetgrass, she takes us on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise. She is a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.”—Elizabeth Gilbert“Robin Wall Kimmerer has written an extraordinary book, showing how the factual, objective approach of science can be enriched by the ancient knowledge of the indigenous people. It is the way she captures beauty that I love the most—the images of giant cedars and wild strawberries, a forest in the rain and a meadow of fragrant sweetgrass will stay with you long after you read the last page.”—Jane Goodall
"I give daily thanks for Robin Wall Kimmerer for being a font of endless knowledge, both mental and spiritual." —Richard Powers, New York Times
“Robin Wall Kimmerer opens a sense of wonder and humility for the intelligence in all kinds of life we are used to naming and imagining as inanimate.”—Krista Tippett, host of On Being
"In a world where only six percent of mammalian biomass on the planet now comprises of wild animals, I longed for books that pressed me up against the inhuman, that connected me to an inhuman world. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer moved me to actual tears." —Alexandra Kleeman, The Millions
"In Braiding Sweetgrass, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer tackles everything from sustainable agriculture to pond scum as a reflection of her Potawatomi heritage, which carries a stewardship 'which could not be taken by history: the knowing that we belonged to the land.' . . . It's a book absorbed with the unfolding of the world to observant eyes—that sense of discovery that draws us in." —NPR
"Professor and botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer knows that the answer to all forms of ecological unbalance have long been hidden in plain sight, told in the language of plants and animals, minerals and elements. She draws on her own heritage . . . pairing science with Indigenous principles and storytelling to advocate for a renewed connection between human beings and nature." —Outside
"Kimmerer eloquently makes the case that by observing and celebrating our reciprocal relationship with the natural world, one can gain greater ecological consciousness." —Sierra Magazine
“With deep compassion and graceful prose, Robin Wall Kimmerer encourages readers to consider the ways that our lives and language weave through the natural world. A mesmerizing storyteller, she shares legends from her Potawatomi ancestors to illustrate the culture of gratitude in which we all should live.”—Publishers Weekly
“The gift of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book is that she provides readers the ability to see a very common world in uncommon ways, or, rather, in ways that have been commonly held but have recently been largely discarded. She puts forth the notion that we ought to be interacting in such a way that the land should be thankful for the people.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Braiding Sweetgrass is instructive poetry. Robin Wall Kimmerer has put the spiritual relationship that Chief Seattle called the ‘web of life’ into writing. Industrial societies lack the understanding of the interrelationships that bind all living things—this book fills that void. I encourage one and all to read these instructions.”—Oren Lyons, Faithkeeper, Onondaga Nation and Indigenous Environmental Leader

Sweetgrass is translated as the “sweet smelling hair of Mother Earth” and represent the union of mind, body and spirit. In the preface, Kimmerer describes the book as “a braid of stories to heal our relationship with the world.” She weaves together science, spirt and story “that can be medicine for our broken relationship with earth.”
Each chapter is to be savored and read slowly. Her prose is achingly beautiful, moving me to tears of wonder as she describes the interrelationship of various plants, such as the brilliant symbiosis of 'The Three Sisters,' beans, squash and corn. Or – the amazing life cycle of the pecan tree or the many uses of cattails; who knew?
I was also moved to tears of grief when she describes the horrible legacy of the Indian Boarding Schools in the late 1800’s. The schools were a form of cultural genocide, but the stories, wisdom and knowledge of native lifeways went underground and endured, a testament to the resiliency of native peoples.
The basic premise of the book is reciprocity and an ‘I – Thou’ relationship with all of creation, to borrow a phrase from Martin Buber. The land gives back to us when we care for the land. Plants, animals, insects, etc. – are all ‘family,’ and one is much less likely (or at least, think twice) about inflicting harm when the relationship is personal, heartfelt and genuine.
Gratitude is the other overarching theme, which is strongly rooted in Native cultures. She describes the Thanksgiving Address of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, which begins a school day or before an important meeting. It is gratitude directed to all of the earth’s species on land and water (including water itself.) The entire address can take up to an hour, as thanks is bestowed upon each element. Each segment ends with “Now our minds are one.” If you don’t read the book, I recommend looking up the Thanksgiving Address. It can be shortened to incorporate into a daily gratitude practice.
In my view, this book is a masterpiece of ecological, historical non-fiction. It is inspiring and hopeful; a call to action. As Kimmerer says…”we are the ones who will bend to the task of putting things back together to rekindle the flames of the sacred fire to begin the rebirth of a nation.”
From the very first page, the author's love for Mother Earth shines through, captivating readers with her heartfelt words and unwavering belief in the power of connection and action. The book's central theme revolves around the restoration of both our hearts and the environment, emphasizing the intrinsic connection between the two. It beautifully weaves together like a native basket personal anecdotes, scientific research, and inspiring stories of environmental leaders, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with the hearts of all who read this book.
One of the book's greatest strengths lies in its ability to engage and inspire the next generation. The author's writing style is accessible and relatable, making complex environmental issues and solutions easily understandable for all readers. By presenting heart felt, connected solutions and highlighting the impact individuals can have, the book instills a sense of empowerment and encourages readers to take action in their own lives by building a sense of responsibility and reciprocity with the world around them.
Moreover, "Braiding Sweetgrass" goes beyond mere environmentalism, delving into the emotional and spiritual aspects of our relationship with nature. It delves into the profound connection between our own well-being and the health of the planet, urging readers to cultivate a deep sense of empathy and responsibility towards the Earth. This holistic approach sets the book apart, as it recognizes that true change begins within ourselves.
The author's passion for the subject matter is contagious, and her unwavering optimism shines through even in the face of daunting challenges. She skillfully navigate the fine line between raising awareness about the severity of the environmental crisis and inspiring hope for a better future. By emphasizing the importance of collective action and the potential for positive change, the book leaves readers feeling motivated and ready to make a difference.
"Braiding Sweetgrass" is a timely and essential read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. It serves as a whisper from our past, reminding us that we hold the power and responsibility to heal and restore our environment. Through its powerful storytelling and thought-provoking insights, this book has the potential to ignite a generation of passionate environmental stewards who will work tirelessly to protect and preserve our Earth Mother.
In conclusion, "Braiding Sweetgrass" is a remarkable book that not only educates but also inspires and empowers readers to take action. It is a must-read for elders, parents, educators, and anyone who believes in the transformative power of this generation and the next generation. Let this book be the drum beat for change, as it restores our hearts and renews our commitment to heal and restore our environment.

The way she speaks about the natural world and all it’s gifts is so beautiful. As someone with a love of science and learning, but also a lover of poetry and soulful writing this book satiated all my needs. While I was reading I could feel myself being wrapped in gratitude for our home, the book is so profoundly beautiful, but also so profoundly sad. I definitely shed a tear many times while reading this. The ideas of thankfulness and loving the environment as it loves you is so beautiful but it did make me cry as we are so far removed from that now. But it’s not all sad, she does help you to gain perspective on how to become more in touch with the world again and I am more inspired than ever.
I can honestly say that this book has had a profound impact on me, greater than any other book has had. I’ve always loved nature but even I see the world in a new light, the way she describes the beautiful and complex interactions between the plants is inspired. As someone who usually looks at only the scientific reasonings and rationals, the spirituality was more than digestible and spoken in a way that makes sense to me and fills me with love, as science doesn’t hold all the answers and it may never will.
All in all this book has changed me for the better and I will always carry the wisdom that has been given to me by Kimmerer, the indigenous peoples, and the plants. I know I now have a newfound respect for the world and all it’s gifts, and gratitude that will never waiver.
