"A survey of wild plant uses conducted in 1979 and 1980 among the Woods Cree of Saskatchewan showed that they employed large numbers of plants in herbal medicine (78) and as food and tea (37), had many uses for trees and shrubs in building, and obtained fire starter, diaper material, kinnickinick, and chewing gum from plants. A small number of other uses were recorded. The plants used were in large part local, native species including fungi (4 taxa), lichens (3 taxa), mosses (3 taxa), and vascular plants (91 taxa). Names of all plants used (except for club-mosses) and an additional 22 species were recorded. A brief comparison with plant uses of Chippewa, Mistassini Cree, Attikamek, Alberta Cree, and Slave Indians was made, based on field studies carried out by other botanists. Information concerning the plant species used by the Saskatchewan Woods Cree, including all the uses recorded in this survey for each plant, is presented in an annotated list."--page vi.
