Braiding Sweetgrass

Apparently still 1 book behind schedule according to Goodreads "orz

This book is about the native american...culture? worldview? milieu? especially with regards to ecology. My understanding is that it is essentially a view go gratitude and reciprocity, and each chapter of the book repeats the same message in a different context (maple trees, salmon, fur trapping, etc). Not the most thrilling read but effective at getting the message to stick. 

I like the idea about being native to the land:

For all of us, being indigenous to a place means living as if your children’s future mattered, to take care of the land as if our lives, both material and spiritual, depended on it.
