The Earth's Blanket: Traditional Teachings for Sustainable Living (Culture, Place, and Nature)by Nancy Turner
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:New in Paperback--A thought-provoking look at indigenous stories, cultural institutions, and ways of knowing, and what they can teach us about living sustainably. Book News Annotation:Drawing upon decades of experience working with Native peoples in the
Pacific Northwest, ethnobotanist Turner shows how systems of
traditional ecological knowledge can foster sustainable living in the
modern world. The native teachings she presents describe a wide
variety of methods of harvesting, transporting, processing, storing,
maintaining, and enhancing natural resources such as trees, medicinal
plants, root vegetables, and shellfish. Turner teaches environmental
studies at the U. of Victoria, British Columbia.
