Ethnobotany Of Menomini Indians.

Description: 

This excerpt is mainly a legend about the origin of Menomini vegetal medicines. To acquire a complete list of all medicine would require several years. In order for a healer to prescribe the appropriate remedy, the diagnosis is the first step. After the healer visits the patient, he/she goes home and dreams about the case. A spirit responds, telling him/her what is wrong, how it may be cured, and what herbs are needed. Excerpt re: Menomini vegetal medicines.
