Food Plants of Coastal First Peoples

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.
