I was super interested in this book as a look at medicinal plants from a different view than I normally see. And while the book was interesting, I just wanted MORE: more on each plant, more on the different uses (how to prepare, etc.), more on the history, etc. Good start though.

Nanise', A Navajo Herbal, beautifully unveils the rich botanical heritage of the Navajo people. Barbara Bayless Lacy and Vernon O. Mayes skillfully present a collection of 100 plants found on the Navajo Reservation, each with its Navajo name and purpose. The book's comprehensive illustrations and well-researched content provide valuable insights into how the Navajo community utilized these plants for ceremonial, medicinal, and daily household needs. I was captivated by the seamless blend of cultural knowledge and botanical expertise, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Native American traditions and herbal medicine.

This book is a treasure trove of knowledge, offering the Navajo names and uses of 100 diverse plants found on their Reservation. You won't need to be a botanist to appreciate the carefully crafted illustrations and engaging descriptions that make this herbal guide an absolute delight.
