Robin Wall Kimmerer (born September 13, 1953) is a Potawatomi botanist, author, and the director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF).
As a scientist and a Native American, her work is informed by both Western science and indigenous environmental knowledge.[1]
Kimmerer has written numerous scientific articles and the books Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses (2003), and Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants (2013). She narrated an audiobook version released in 2016. Braiding Sweetgrass was republished in 2020 with a new introduction.
