She has so many powerful and empowering words! "despair is a way of accepting powerlessness". See ourselves as brothers [and sisters] of creation instead of masters of creation. Watch this and share with your friends and other human people.
I appreciate so much how Robin take us into a loving reciprocal mindset which is what is needed to understand our relationship with Mother Earth, the 2 leggeds, the 4 leggeds, the tree people, the winged ones, and the soft and beautiful mosses. Without this understanding we are left with despair and frustration. Robin gives me hope.And we all make a difference. Respect is the key. I have learned so much from indigenous scientists.....
what a powerful note from Dr. Kimmerer to end the conversation, thank you for this interview and for the thoughts and feelings behind all of the questions and responses
"If our leaders won't do the right thing we have to do the right thing." She's correct. We cannot depend on elected officials. It's time for us to step up.
“Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful!”

Braiding Sweetgrass is a brilliant book. Every chapter leaves you feeling like you know what it's like to be loved unconditionally.
Dr. Kimmerer is an incredible speaker and botanist. Her students are very fortunate to have such a bright and holistic mind helping them grow.
Beautiful. Thank you
“What does Earth need from us” vs “how do we fix this?” - reframes everything.
"I think the age of the viruses would fix that..." Dr. Kimmerer, you are a gift. Thank you.
As the tears well up in her eyes, I feel I can see the future reflecting in them. A woman's tears hold powerful seeds.
Thank you for sharing.

If corporations are people then the land should have the same rights and a seat at the table
beautiful, thank you ・*˚⁺

I think Simone Weil begs to differ. I think she’d say that its through despair that you can find grace.
we are all original people somewhere
