Food plants of coastal First Peoples / Nancy J. Turner.

Turner, Nancy J., 1947- (author., Author). Royal British Columbia Museum, (issuing body., Added Author).

Summary:

"In this classic Royal BC Museum handbook, renowned ethnobotanist Dr Nancy Turner describes hundreds of native plants used by First Peoples of coastal British Columbia and neighbouring groups in Washington and Alaska. She explains how aboriginal peoples harvested and prepared all parts of wild plants for food. Each plant description contains botanical details and a colour photograph to help identify the species, information on where to find it and a discussion on traditional methods of harvesting and preparation. This ever-popular book is a perennial best seller and has been reprinted several times – again in 2013. More than 18,000 copies have been printed since the first edition in 1985. Food Plants of Coastal First Peoples, along with its companion on interior peoples, has two purposes, as the author states in her introduction: “first, to inform interested naturalists and outdoors enthusiasts of the wealth and diversity of wild edible plants to be found in the privince; and second, for those interested in First Peoples’ history and culture, to provide a record of species used by various groups and of the different harvesting and preparation procedures.”" -- Publisher's website
