This handbook describes the traditional uses by aboriginal people of
more than 200 different plants from Canada’s boreal forest. It is
the result of original ethnobotanical fieldwork in 29 communities
across the boreal forest region of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
Natural resources of the boreal forest have always been essential to
the dietary, medical, economic, and spiritual well-being of First
Nations people, but until now much of their traditional environmental
knowledge has remained unrecorded and at risk of being lost.
To compile this book the authors, along with seven other First
Nation trainees, five Métis trainees, and four other botany students,
learned how to collect voucher plant specimens and record traditional
knowledge about the use of plants for medicine, handicrafts,
technology, and ritual practices. Over 100 elders contributed
information that they felt should be shared among communities.
The entries and accompanying photographs are arranged according to
the plant family and include information on physical descriptions,
habitat, uses for food, technology, medicine, and potential economic
use. The book also includes an explanation of the research approach, a
literature review, and an overview of the ecological and cultural
background of the area.
