Douglas Deur Author

Douglas Deur has gathered and used native plants his entire life. Professionally, Doug assists native peoples of the western United States and Canada – documenting enduring plant use practices as well as the rituals, values, and technologies that have shaped traditional resource harvests. The current volume is a product of his long-term collaboration with the Quinault Indian Nation’s Department of Natural Resources to record plant knowledge of tribal members, both to guide modern land use planning, and to ensure that this knowledge is passed on to future generations of tribal members.
