Tells the traditional stories and describes the lifeways of some of
the first people of the Plains: the Pawnee, Sioux, Hidatsa, Mandan,
Arikara, and Omaha Indians. Through these stories, readers learn of
the essential ties Native peoples have to the land.
A classic of ethnobotany, "Uses of Plants by the Indians of the
Missouri River Region" has been enlarged for this Bison Book
edition with thirty drawings, by Bellamy Parks Jansen, of plants
discussed by Gilmore. The taxonomic glossary has been updated as
well. Readers will find here, conveniently described, the uses that
Plains Indians made of the wild plants they collected and of those
plants they cultivated for food, clothing, medicine, and
ornamentation. This fascinating book, originally published in 1919,
reveals cultures that evolved in close harmony with their
environment.
