A Pocket Guide: Cultural Plants of the Lower Sioux Indian Community

By Lower Sioux Indian Community

This book on cultural and medicinal plants of the Dakota was created to provide users with information on Native American heritage and the traditional uses of ecological resources. There is perhaps no better way to preserve a language and historical ecology than through the names and plants that are interwoven among the lives of the tribe. Plants are embedded within Native American folklore and are used for pharmacy, grocery, toys, tools, fabric, dwellings, and spiritual icons. Knowledge of traditional plant use has been passed from generation to generation, and has been summarized within this book to serve as a guide for learners of all ages. This book is a field reference guide for those seeking to better understand the natural world around them.
