An ethnobotanical treasure!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is an account of the edible wild plants used by the Coastal Native Americans of British Columbia as well as some of their history and culture. It covers some general harvesting, preparation, seasonal plant use and detailed accounts of specific plants which have a brief description, habitat, distribution in B.C., and "Indian" use. Although the plants covered are for a particular area the information contained is invaluable for the serious forager. Because you soon realize that this information can be utilized for species in the same genus found in the eastern U.S. (i.e. Rubus, Rosa, Rumex, Allium, Tsuga) and collection/preparation techniques may be applicable to other plants. Covers seaweeds, ferns, confiers, mono & dicots. Lots of color pictures, 2 appendicies: non-native food plants and poisonous or inedible plants. A great reference book for the gatherer of wild edibles!
