| PRODUCT TYPE | Hardcover (Hardcover) |
Description
With Indigenous Métis herbalist LoriAnn Bird as your guide, connect with the ancestral wisdom of over 90 wild edible and medicinal plants from across North America. A purposeful and powerful reference to the lessons, nourishment, healing, and history of our "plant teachers," Revered Roots shares guidance on exploring, gathering, and reclaiming these long-revered plants as food and medicine. Separated into two sections, LoriAnn first reveals her own journey to understanding and respecting our plant elders. She offers teachings and lessons about remembering our relationship to the plants around us and our responsibility to the earth that sustains us. The second part of the book is filled with insightful illustrated plant profiles detailing the identification, uses, and Indigenous folklore of some of the continent's most treasured ancestral plants. Included are edible and medicinal bark, berries, and buds from trees and shrubs, as well as foliage, flowers, and fronds from herbs, "weeds," and wildflowers; some native to the continent, others introduced generations ago. Learn about the gifts our Rooted Nation of plants has to offer, including:
