Synopsis

Plants were used by Native Americans in all aspects of their lives--for food, shelter, grooming, tanning, basketry, medicine, feasts, ceremonies and magic. The author's information includes botanical and Indian plant names, detailed descriptions and methods of preparation, traditional recipes and histories of use. A genuinely enchanting catalog of the folkways of western American Indians, written by a woman who spent 25 years studying the tribes of the intermountain regions.
