008 — Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author of “Braiding Sweetgrass”

Our guest today is one of my favorite authors, a magical heart and mind who gave us all the gift of her phenomenal book, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants.” Robin Wall Kimmerer is a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.  She is SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.
