He is the author of Pacific Northwest Foraging and many other writings that explore the traditions, values, and ecological logic of Native American plant use. This volume is a product of his long-term collaboration with the Quinault Indian Nation to record plant knowledge of tribal members in order to guide modern land-use planning, ensure that this knowledge is passed on to future generations of tribal members, and share as appropriate with the outside world.","products":[{"product_id":"gifted-earth-the-ethnobotany-of-the-quinault-and-neighboring-tribes-paperback","title":"Gifted Earth: The Ethnobotany of the Quinault and Neighboring Tribes - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished in cooperation with the Quinault Indian Nation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGifted Earth\u003c\/i\u003e features traditional Native American plant knowledge, detailing the use of plants for food, medicines, and materials.
