Description

Native American Gardening: A Buffalobird-woman's Guide to Traditional Methods

This book presents a unique perspective on traditional agriculture, combining anthropological research with the insights of a Native American woman. Gilbert Wilson's work explores the Hidatsa Indians' methods for cultivating the land, from clearing fields to harvesting crops, as well as traditional activities like braiding corn and making squash dolls.

With a focus on sustainable agriculture and the social science of Native American culture, this book offers valuable advice for modern organic gardeners and farmers. It is also of interest to anthropologists, economic historians, and anyone fascinated by Native American life.
