one of my fav areas of reading since starting to read again last year. thank you for such a beautiful list. so happy it made it in the running for quest!!!

I am so glad that you enjoy it - I love sharing my favorite books! I am so giddy to have had it be nominated at all!
A lovely and important list! thank you for sharing
If you haven't read it yet, I recommend Native Foodways: Indigenous North American Religious Traditions and Foods edited by Michelene E. Pesantubbee and Michael J. Zogry! I read it a couple years ago and found it really interesting and loved the anthology/essay format.

I also really enjoyed that book - I ended up using it for my class First Foods of the PNW and still have it on my shelves! What a great book to suggest, thank you!
Just finished Braiding Sweetgrass and want to read more, so this list is perfect thank you! She has another book The Serviceberry that may fit too.

Added The Serviceberry - Gathering Moss is my favorite of her books, I hope you give it a read as well!
