Robin Wall Kimmerer challenges us to re-examine what we know about the natural world

Propelled by the success of her runaway bestseller, “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants,” Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi) continues a passion for weaving together the science, the cultural knowledge, and the beauty of the natural environment and importance of taking notice of it.

In her new children’s picture book, “Bud Finds Her Gift,” a young girl discovers what it means to receive and give the gifts of nature. And her book, “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,” lands on the small fruit clusters as a starting point to awaken one’s gratitude for the environment’s abundance.

Tune into Native America Calling to hear from Kimmerer about the arc of her work and the additional knowledge she’s collected from it.
