Fw: a literary investigation of Lakota plant names

[R. Rankin]

I received this excerpt on Lakota ethnobotany from a KU
student of Kelly Kindscher, the author of a couple of
nice books on Indian use of plants for food and
medicine, etc.  He asked for comment.  I don't know
that I have a whole lot to say about it, but I told him
I'd ask the list.  Those of you with an interest in
Lakota (or other Siouan) ethnobotany and plant
terminology may be interested in reading the attachment
and/or contacting Bob Prue.
