Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants CD while the families back inAs 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.
