barrens and woods to explore the habitats of plants with healing
properties. He then illustrates each medicinal plant and describes its
traditional use or uses.

"sacred plant," the yellow rattle, exploring bogs in the hope of finding
the elusive blue flag, or simply interested in the Micmac approach to
health and healing, Micmac Medicines will prove a helpful and
enjoyable companion.
Using his knowledge of native remedies, the author offers some simple
solutions to common ailments. This volume will be useful to those who
