Iwígara: American Indian Ethnobotanical Traditions and Science | 
pickThis ethnobotany resource focuses on the continent of North America and includes information Dr. Salmón gatherered largely directly from the sources of people still holding this information, along with archival research. The entries are alphabetical, often include color photography, and discuss historical uses for each plant along with slight disclaimers of the harm it can also cause. One plant came with a plea not to harvest any. ⤵ï¸
ReadingEnvy He is careful to say when he is quoting other sources vs his own knowledge. It isn't intended to serve as a medicinal guide exactly, but I think it would be interesting to look for some of these plants in the wild and learn about their histories and uses by people who lived off the land. â¤µï¸ 4y
