Nancy Turner, Ethnobotanist

First Nation leaders are breathing new life into traditional cultures in the Pacific Northwest, teaching their children to speak ancestral languages, perform ancient dances, and prepare traditional foods from native plants.

Ethnobotanist Nancy Turner works with indigenous elders to preserve plant knowledge dating back to the First People in the New World.

Nancy Turner is a hero to ethnobotanists, especially us women in the field. Thanks for this fine interview of her and the sword fern story. Nancy is a great model of respectful, slow, relationship-based fieldwork.
