The Institute for American Indian Studies did not review this book. The review was written by the author.

One of the BEST books I've ever known. Thoroughly researched and beautifully compiled, it's a work that springs from a deep connection with the Earth. Excellent for enthusiasts of the wild foods and medicines of the northeast--but applicable to other regions, as well. The recipes (for both plants and animals) use primarily native American ingredients.
Copies may still be available from the publisher's museum bookstore. Check out www.birdstone.org.

This new edition of a well-loved classic continues to please the many teachers who use this book as a classroom text & field guide. We are pleased to have played a major role in bringing it about! Our museum, exhibits, trails, and villages reflect much of this work here at The Institute For American Indian Studies in Washington, CT.

This expanded, 20th Birthday Edition of Native Harvests, with color photographs + 3 more chapters + expanded glossary & bibliography is even more valuable than the previous edition, which the New York Times called "the most brilliantly researched book on the subject." This edition will also become a treasured teaching text and tool for greater appreciation of Native People and their contributions to our contemporary lifeways..
