The Aboriginal culture included in this study are the Cree, Dene, and Métis people living in central to northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, Canada... This ethnobotanical study attempts to do more than provide a list of useful plants. In addition to gathering botanical data, the original field research also gathered information on ritual uses of plants, the naming and classification of plants in the indigenous languages, beliefs regarding plants, and attitudes toward development of plant resources. The field work is supplemented by information gleaned from a literature review of the ethnobotany of various boreal forest cultures across North America, the nutritive value of the wild plants eaten, the medicinal value of the wild herbal medicines, and a preliminary assessment of ecological impact and economic potential of commercial development of these botanical resources."--Introduction.
