[@perplexedprimate]

Do not miss her 2013 book on this theme - Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants - a beautifully written, thoughtful book that is incredibly inspirational - thank you, thank you, thank you Robin!

[@eL-li3hp]

I was just gifted her book. It is just lovely.

[@brittkelly6326]

Loved this book

[@itsoruss]

The best read of 2022 IMHO. Loved it.

[@MsDee221]

Chills. She is such a beautiful poet and incredibly smart individual. I could listen to her all day. Robin for President.

[@musicalkid14852]

I'm so incredibly proud that I can call myself a student of hers. I learned so much from her as a student at ESF.

[@FreemanPresson]

That book is outstanding. I am listening to the audiobook, read by the author. It's going slowly because there is so much to digest.

[@JM-lo9xk]

I could listen to her all day and night! You are very lucky ❤

[@beitheleaf8221]

I was meant to hear this today. I have this amazing woman to thank for sparking a curiosity to learn about the natural world and to pursue a path of practicing awareness and respect. It makes me glad to see so many others moved by this too. 💙

[@mairincampbell4506]

Gratitude immense for Robin Wall Kimmerer! My hero.

[@nathanrichardson8402]

This made me smile and made me cry.. it was so profound, so moving!! Thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart for sharing your wisdom

[@not2tees]

It is not the land that is broken but our relationship to the land. Well, I for one am going to memorize the rules of the Honourable Harvest.

Please play this at my funeral

[@csikosandor]

Thank you Robin!

[@n.d8001]

Very eloquent lady.

[@Danichdelight]

Thank you so much for this video.. My first meting with this wise woman :-) ..

[@shansational1803]

Did she visit USU? I think I've listened to her if she did. Inspired me to want to visit Kansas's prarie, too. (Or, someone indigenous did.)

[@jandunn169]

I love your books and the sensitivity and indigenous wisdom you bring to your scientific knowledge. This wholeness is what our world needs so badly and a new paradigm for sustaining Mother Earth.....

[@lasencantadas8702]

I remember in one of her video she said something like the trees or nature would or could turn their backs from us - something like that - I would like to listen to that speech again - do you know which one it is ?

[@bioneers]

Not sure, I think this is the only keynote talk we have with Robin...

[@lasencantadas8702]

@@bioneers Actually it was video with Robin Wall Kimmerer not specially on your chain, and there are many of them on youtube... Thanks anyway for your answer

How could they keep Martha in a cage and not able to live freely as a natural part of this Earth, and die happy. To see her locked up in a box, after they killed all of her flocks, then to keep her alone in a box. I get so grossed out by how we treat living things. How did we get so disrespectful, that her last days of her life were in a little prison. I guess people think its only cruel if it happens to them.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Yes, they should at the very least have given her companions of a similar species. Pigeons are intensely social creatures, she must have been miserable in isolation.

[@glenliesegang233]

Before 1988, humanity lived off the interest of Mother Nature's abundance. M Now we are destroying the principal.

[@glenliesegang233]

If each human over age 12 planted 10 trees a year, drove less, fished less, used less electricity, and ate more plants than meat, I fully believe the Earth' climate would stabilize.

[@pattimichellesheaffer103]

Retired USAF Research Scientist here. People do crave upbeat speakers! Problem is that there are ~8 billion humans only *because* of fossil fuels and their use in "flogging the land" (which crops are grown upon). Montgomery [2013] points out nearly *every* civilization has left it's footprint in "dead/salinated/eroded" land which can no longer feed humans. Meadows [1973, 2004, 2018] points out that the remaining (and decreasing) agricultural land can likely only support a few billion humans; fewer if in the Western lifestyle. A big die-off (euphemistically called a "evolutionary bottleneck") is fast approaching as we destroy the Holocene - itself having been required for civilizations to exist in the first place. So, ya, she says good things which are encouraging - but simple, well understood physics [Meadows 2018] requires billions of deaths. How can she (or *anyone* ) work such a statement of *known* *fact* into their orations while remaining upbeat? I have yet to see anyone speak the facts and remain upbeat. In fact, I don't know how I remain sane and yet behold the physical facts every day. Perhaps one gets used to seeing the facts after some time - a lesson in acceptance.

[@sawtoothiandi]

i guess evolutionary bottleneck or not, every born thing dies. acceptance of death is hard-won but worth seeking. perhaps for those that believe that the body is merely a temporary vehicle this is easier to handle?

[@vishwamheckert4208]

I'm inspired by the research that shows small scale organic gardening is much more productive than industrial scale methods. Who knows what is possible? Embracing uncertainty might be part of our walk into the future.

[@sabrinacooklin9385]

This video is moving, but even the "clean" sources of energy are not truly sustainable. Geo-engineering has made sunlight sparse in many areas, as well as the fact that the minerals needed to create solar panels are rarer than many precious stones. Plus, they eventually break beyond repair and need to be replaced. The wind doesn't always blow, and windmills still require vast natural resources to make. There is no "sustainable" form of energy. The only way to reverse environmental damage would be to revert to nomadic times without running water, electricity, or even civilization as we know it.

[@AngelaSealana]

It's up to us to find a third way.

[@germ132barn223]

How profoundly beautiful and true!

[@nathanrichardson8402]

These teachings are bringing tears to my eyes.... I'm crying as I listen to this beauty and I can't stop...

[@hummingbirdforestgarden]

Such an excellent speaker and teacher. Your books have been read and read again here. Thank you.

[@nedelkaprescod1426]

Yes, and yes again and again. Thank you.

[@HamOnCan]

it would have us turn hospitals into hospitality garden and fitness scenters top it by turning schools into th old fashioned community centers/churches of the black people. sharing for th common good

[@xcolonel]

This lady teaches about overconsumption and greed but she herself is overweight. Why did I just read her book

[@xcolonel]

@@SM-jw5si oh but I did

[@xcolonel]

@@SM-jw5si im guessing you didn't

[@valerymontoya7771]

there’s other reasons other than overconsumption for being overweight. Ever heard of hypothyroidism or genetics? Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

[@redj1101]

So, to you, a few extra pounds on *one woman* justify the exploitation of the natural world? Make it make sense

[@xcolonel]

@@redj1101 hardly a few. I'm not justifying anything. I don't think we should exploit the natural world. I think she should practice what she writes if she's trying to get others to do the same

[@katelockhart7983]

Incredible video 🔥
