Traditional Native American Plant Use

An interesting site.

Native American Ethnobotany
A database of plants used as drugs, foods, dyes, fibers, and more, by native Peoples of North America.

Could be improved a bit by including pics or links to other sites, but not a deal breaker.

Thanks Olden

That link to the Dearborn database was already provided in the Information Centre but I wasn’t aware it had changed address, although the old link diverts you automatically. I’ve now updated it here:

There’s other information about Native American plant usage in that entry too.

Note that after you’ve done a search on the Dearborn database, it does provide the additional information you would like. Each plant that is mentioned has an onward link to the USDA plant database, where there is full information about the plant, including pictures and a map of its habitat distribution.
