As an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she integrates indigenous wisdom and Western scientific knowledge in her work on traditional ecological knowledge and restoration ecology.</p> <p>Kimmerer&rsquo;s approach bridges empirical science with the holistic worldview of indigenous peoples. She advocates for what she terms &ldquo;the grammar of animacy&rdquo; - recognizing the personhood of the more-than-human world. Her work examines how indigenous protocols for relating to land can inform contemporary environmental practice while respecting indigenous sovereignty and wisdom.</p>
