"The Indigenous peoples of North America have long relationships with the native plants in their regions, and have developed a deep knowledge of plant lifecycles and uses. In Held by the Land, a beautifully illustrated essential introduction to Indigenous plant knowledge, ethnobotanist and member of the Squamish Nation Leigh Joseph shares how these living traditions can have a positive impact on your life. Readers will discover how to build a relationship with the earth and with local plant species in a way that respects the land and the plants themselves, along with general principles for identifying and harvesting plants carefully and safely. In a large section of plant profiles, common plants are introduced with illustrations and information on their characteristics, range, how to grow and/or forage them, and how to use them. Special features offer recipes for food and beauty products along with stories and traditions around the plants"--Provided by publisher.
