A compact record of plant knowledge in western Washington
First published in 1945, this concise ethnobotanical survey documents how Native Americans in western Washington used more than 150 plant species. Its scope joins practical and cultural applications: plants appear as foods, medicines, and materials for clothing and other objects. The book centers a close relationship between people, land, and local plant life, while organizing that relationship through specific forms of use. At 71 pages, it offers a focused entry point into regional Indigenous plant knowledge and the many everyday roles plants held.
