If you’re longing for a book to immerse yourself in, that will give you something positive and beautiful to fill your brain and perhaps evolve your understanding of the natural world, look no further. I’ve been loving Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which I’m late to the party on but which has been like a breath of fresh air in the dead of winter. The subtitle describes what this book has to offer - Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants. Kimmerer is excellent at fusing her indigenous knowledge and scientific acumen to explain how plants function in concert with the rest of the natural world, and how their relationship of reciprocity illustrates the goal all people should be striving for in their relationships with the natural world and one another. Her evocative prose reframes biological processes into beautiful lessons guiding our own evolution and understanding. If you haven’t read this book yet, get it in your queue. It’s the perfect book to be reading as spring comes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Note: I bought that braid of sweetgrass years ago before I understood its place as a sacred plant that you should get only from indigenous vendors. I love to smell it - it really is one of the most comforting scents, like a field of hay with just a hint of cinnamon or vanilla essence. And now that I’ve been reading this book I hear the lovely Anishinaabe word for sweetgrass - wiingaashk - in my head whenever I smell it. #books #bookstagram #indigenouswriters #indigenousauthors #braidingsweetgrass #plants #botany #nature #instabook #instabooks #bookrecommendations #booklover #currentlyreading #naturalscience #indigenousknowledge #reciprocity #sweetgrass #ecology #reading #diversifyyourbookshelf #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CZMj0-QO3lR/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Is How Reading Multiple Book Blogs Can Enrich Your Reading Life

⚜Welcome back to Lamon Reviews.⚜ Everyday, at some point, I quietly peruse my emails. Depending on how many post the blogs I follow have scheduled, I read about 10 quick blog post, reviews and tips. And usually with pen in hand in case I find some information I like. Well, today I had an Aha moment. I read another wonderful blog post from The Quiet Pond, which I follow. It was another…

Just finished the second book in Rebecca Roanhorse's Sixth World series. Storm of Locusts was a wonderful book set in a post-apocalyptic world after "Big Water". Roanhorse mixes dystopia with traditional Native American folklore. We see glimpses of Coyote and other Indigenous gods/tricksters along with Maggie and Kai's clan powers. It's only been 1 month since the events of Trail of Lightening but Maggie is pulled into another crisis needing her unique set of skills. #SixthWorld #StormofLocusts #rebeccaroanhorse #IndigenousAuthors #representationmatters #speculativefiction #nerdymama #nerdybooks #booknerd #bookriotreadharderchallenge2021 #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CQB3Oovg0LT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Calling My Spirit Back by Elaine Alec is a deeply moving testament to an inspiring Indigenous woman who did not let her traumas define her life. Follow her @elaine_alec_writer_speaker and get her book if you want to face and feel the many challenges she has faced. I’m reading the book out loud to my inspiring partner, Alejandra @healinganger. I just finished Chapter 8. We have both had tears of sadness, but also of appreciation. Prepare to feel it all. Feeling the whole range of emotions is how we grow. #growth #indigenousauthors #indigenous #trauma #truestory https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_yv39MtCj/?utm_medium=tumblr

For a looooooong time, I refused to read stories by #nativeamericans and I didn’t understand why. I am Native American, so why? I finally figured out it had to do with never getting the stories I WANTED to hear from my father, who died when I was a teenager, and my Granny, who was such a private person when it came to her childhood. Getting information out of her was worse than pulling teeth. This is a picture of my Great Grandfather. All I really know about him is the emotion I heard in her voice whenever my Granny would show me his picture and say “This is my Daddy” and what I read in BIA records when I tried to research my family. I wish I knew more, but now that she too is gone, I’ll never know. I have lifted my subconscious ban on #indigenousauthors and am #currentlylisteningto #theabsoluteytruediaryofaparttimeindian by #shermanalexie Just because I can’t find out about my family doesn’t mean I can’t read about what it was like for others through their stories whether they be #fiction or #nonfiction #bookstagram #bipocvoices #bookgeek #bipocauthors #bookworm #bookish #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #reading #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtRN0vAgzb/?igshid=acdtombabf58

On Wednesday, I read an interview with Lee Maracle about her experience publishing in Canada. One book mentioned was I Am Woman first published in 1996. #weekdayreads #indigenousauthors #feminism #intersectional #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Vsn9hFU5N/?igshid=57i4it2r3xw3

I know I’ve missed a few days of #riotgrams prompts, but I couldn’t miss a chance to rep some of these books (again.) Even if I’ve already talked about a few of these books dozens of times — like Jonny Appleseed (all the feels for NDN glitter princess and cybersex worker Jonny!), and Sanaaq (first novel written in Inuttitut!) and probably Trail of Lightning (post-apocalyptic indigenous mythological monster killing). Then there’s those I may not have said much about before — like Louise Erdrich’s literary fiction (which, I mean, Erdrich is practically an institution unto herself, if you haven’t read her yet, it’s time to rectify that), and Daniel H. Wilson (more post-apocalypse, but with robots this time), and then Heid E. Erdrich’s multimedia poetry. . . #nativeauthors #indigenousauthors #jonnyappleseed #joshuawhitehead #trailoflightning #rebeccaroanhorse #sanaaq #mitiarjuknappaaluk #heideerdrich #curatorofephemera #danielhwilson #robogenesis #louiseerdrich #tracks #lovemedicine #michiganstateuniversitypress #universityofmanitobapress #arsenalpulppress https://www.instagram.com/p/Botn9J_lxVw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5wjojy7o98uz

Who here likes soaps that come in book boxes? 🙋🙋🙋 it's such a creative idea to add a soap especially ones that are handmade like the one in my @raven_reads Arctic box!! - The little pouch it came in was sooooo cute!! It has a little feather on it!! - If you like this box check out Raven Reads and don't forget my rep code: INSPIRE. - #bookstagram #booksaremylife #book #booksfordays #ilovebooks #bibliophile #ravenreads #soaps #indigenousauthors #indigenous #artwork #bookboxes

"Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us." - Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves the forest and wants to learn more about our relationship with the earth. I am reading it now, anf it's eye opening! #IndigenousAuthors #TongueoutTuesday (at Overlook, Frederick)
