Edible Wild Plants of the Prairie

More about the book

Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains have relied on native plants for sustenance for millennia, enriching their diets beyond game. The arrival of white settlers diminished this practice, imposing new cultural food norms. This updated edition enhances identification for foragers with color photographs, replacing previous line drawings. It includes a revised introduction, introduces new species, removes others, and honors the cultural significance of these plants, acknowledging that Native food traditions continue to thrive today.
