I wrote the poem “The Wendigo’s Way” after reading Robin Wall Kemmerer’s Book Braiding Sweetgrass, but the poem doesn’t do justice to her book. Braiding Sweetgrass is an exploration of right and wrong relationships to the natural world. She ends with a story of how to defeat the Wendigo, but also a warning. Who are you trying to defeat?
