Iw gara , when translated, means the kinship of plants and people.
And that is exactly what Enrique Salm n explores in this important book.
Iw gara shares culturally specific information about 80 plants, addressing their historical and modern-day uses as medicine, food, spices, and more.
Iw gara includes plants entries derived from many different American Indian tribes and seven geographic regions across the United States.
Each plant entry includes the names commonly used.
