Let’s see... well, it’s not really like her in some ways, but David Abram’s The Spell of the Sensuous gave me many of the same feelings and felt the same way to me as I read it, and spends time with many of the same topics. I really love it.

And after I read Braiding Sweetgrass for the first time I went and looked for other indigenous writers talking more about the practicalities and found Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, who writes incredibly encouraging, lovely, loving, educational books on reconciliation and decolonial activism. I like Dancing on Our Turtle’s Back in particular. It felt like a good way to learn more on the framework Braiding Sweetgrass helped me build.
