About This Book
A systematic ethnobotanical survey documents the Ojibwe people's uses of native and introduced plants, cataloguing medicinal remedies, edible species, fiber and dye sources, and other utilitarian applications. The work pairs botanical identifications with Ojibwe names and descriptions of harvesting, preparation, and administration, and outlines ceremonial or practical contexts for plant use. Organized by use category—medicines, foods, fibers, dyes, and miscellaneous—it presents explanatory text, specimen accounts, and numerous plates and figures illustrating plants, tools, and techniques.
