Renowned ethnobotanistNancy Turnerdistills in this volume her decades of experience working with First Nations in the Pacific Northwest.The Earth's Blanketexplores the wealth of ecological knowledge and the deep personal connection to the land and its history that is encoded in indigenous stories and lifeways, and what they may be able to teach all of us about living in harmony with our surroundings.Scholarly in its thinking but accessible in its writing,The Earth's Blanketcombines first-person research with insightful critiques of Western concepts of environmental management and scientific ecology to propose how systems of traditional ecological knowledge can be recognized and enhanced. It is an important book, a magnum opus, with the power to transform our way of thinking about the Earth and our place within it.
