The Zuni Indians And Their Uses Of Plants

The Zuni Indians And Their Uses Of Plants is a comprehensive book written by Matilda Coxe Stevenson, a noted ethnographer and anthropologist, about the traditional knowledge and practices of the Zuni people in regards to the use of plants. The book provides a detailed account of the Zuni culture and their deep connection with the natural world, particularly their use of plants for food, medicine, and spiritual purposes. Stevenson's research is based on her extensive fieldwork among the Zuni people in the late 19th century, during which she collected a wealth of information about the different types of plants used by the Zuni, their preparation and use, and their significance in Zuni culture. The book is organized into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of Zuni plant knowledge, such as the classification of plants, plant gathering, and plant use in healing and religious ceremonies. The Zuni Indians And Their Uses Of Plants is an important contribution to the field of ethnobotany and provides valuable insights into the traditional ecological knowledge of Indigenous peoples. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Zuni people and their relationship with the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
