Acknowledgements: The designers of this online resource wish to single out author Michael Moore (Medicinal Plants of the Pacific Northwest), whose detailed, passionate, down to earth, and very funny writing kept us laughing in the middle of the night; author Alma Hutchens (Indian Herbalogy of North America) whose classic book was the first one many of us read on Native Medicinal Plants, author Michael Pollan (The Botany of Desire) who manages to bring science, native ethnobotany, history, and economics alive; author E Barrie Kavash (Native Harvests and American Indian Healing Arts) who is bringing indigenous food and plant rituals back into the American canon; author Marie Miczak Ph.D (Nature's Weeds, Native Medicine) who speaks from the perspective of our ancestors and provides practical advice for today; William S. Lyon (Encyclopedia of Native American Healing) whose monumental volume sheds new light on shamanic healing in North America; authors Michael Caduto and Joseph Bruchac (Native American Gardening) for writing a practical guide for the family backyard; author Stephen Harrod Buhner (Sacred Plant Medicine) who focuses on communicating with the plant world and an Earth Wisdom frame of understanding that predates recorded history. We also wish to thank all the volunteers and staff who helped us with this project, and our project leader (who prefers the title of guide) Andrew Brother Elk, whose persistence and knowledge and integrity and humor kept us sane ...and all our grandmothers and grandfathers who took the time to patiently explain the difference between the various sages and thistles, and pointed out where to find the right plants for healing and baskets, and lovingly made us teas and salves when we got hurt, and gave us seeds and cuttings when we flew out of the nest on our own, and returned their bodies to honor the Earth in its valleys and hillsides and mountains, where their spirits continue to guide us across North America.
