As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers.

In a rich braid of 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 a wider 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48187630354644,"sku":"TVJ-025298","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-025298-1.jpeg?v=1782790964","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/braiding-sweetgrass-by-robin-wall-kimmerer","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
