"Residents of the Great Plains since the early 1500s, the Apache people were well acquainted with the native flora of the region. In Plains Apache Ethnobotany, Julia A. Jordan documents more than 110 plant species valued by the Plains Apache and preserves a wealth of detail concerning traditional Apache collection, preparation, and use of these plant species for food, medicine, ritual, and material culture." "Plains Apache Ethnobotany is the most comprehensive ethnobotanical study of a southern plains tribe. This book is a valuable resource for ethnobotanists, anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in American Indian use of native plants."--BOOK JACKET.
