"...not for our relatives." I absolutely love Robin Wall Kimmerer and I am so grateful she is offering guidance to us. It is such an honor existing at the same time as her.
Robin....I have been listening to Braiding Sweetgrass while I am watering my garden. As we wait for election results I think about your People and all of mine and pray to stand tall and stand for Mother Earth no matter what happens. We are still here ( I am Jewish and Northeastern woodlands or plains Indians according to my DNA tests) but my ancestors call to me to keep fighting for justice and reciprocity. Gindinawendimin!!!! Love you, and the hope and understanding you bring to us.
A gentle, powerful presentation from a woman connected to the land of the Peacemaker. Robin suggests we speak of Nature not as 'it' but as 'kin', the plural of 'ki', thereby giving respect to beings with whom we share life. By changing our language, we change our minds and the way we act in this world.
I am still reading the book. I love it. The way how is explained the love for the Earth remind me the love for the PACHAMAMA in quechua, the love for Mother Earth translate in English. In Perú we understand very similar the love for the land, the.love for the Earth in general.
A million kisses upon the hands of Dr Kimmerer. A true servant of life and all living.... things! haha. She mentions the need for a sophisticated protocol of various sorts for dealing with the notion of eating relatives and it reminded me of when I was child and had gut feelings that indigenous people are extremely intellectual despite being surrounded by notions that indigenous people are backwards, savages, barbarians etc. The best test of anything is time. I will always trust ancient wisdom over anything else, especially new science (typically funded by the we-know-whos)
I could listen to her voice all day ❤ I would have have paid attention in school if she was my teacher 🎉
This woman is a gift to the human race.
Yes, a gift to all living beings!!
Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my most favorite books and I listen and read it every spring.
Love seeing Dr. Kimmerer speak! 🌼🌱

Aqui in Spanish is Here.
The language similarity is fascinating to me
49:00 Yeah. I wish for more of that victory.
Use Kin, not It, for the life on this world. Save the It’s for bulldozers. Love it!
In my society every inaimate or animate being is either a she or he.
The Earth doesn't care. That's an epistemic, ethical category mistake.
You have no idea, because you are not Her
