Summary:

"May Siisip Geniusz has spent more than thirty years working with, living with, and using Anishinaabe teachings, recipes, and botanical information. In Plants Have So Much to Give Us, All We Have to Do Is Asj, Geniusz makes Anishinaabe botanical information available to Native and non-Native healers and educators and emphasizes the Anishinaabe culture that developed the knowledge and practice. Teaching the way she was taught--through stories--Geniusz brings the plants to life with narratives that explain their uses, meaning, and history."-- Page 4 of cover.
