Continue your journey into the living plant knowledge of the Occaneechi homeland.
Volume 2 of Medicine Plants of the Pleasant Grove & Little Texas Community builds upon the foundation established in Volume 1 by exploring a broader range of medicinal, edible, ceremonial, and culturally significant plants found throughout the Pleasant Grove and Little Texas Community.
Developed through Indigenous-led medicine walks, community knowledge sharing, and place-based learning, this volume highlights plants that have long played important roles in traditional foodways, medicine, ceremony, fiber production, and ecological stewardship.
Inside this volume, readers will discover:
• Wild Onion & Crow Garlic
• White Clover & Red Clover
• Horseweed
• Rabbit Tobacco
• Pennsylvania Cudweed and more!
Beyond plant identification, Volume 2 explores Indigenous teachings about reciprocity, gratitude, ethical harvesting, and the spiritual relationships between people and the plant world. Readers are invited to consider plants not simply as resources, but as relatives and teachers.
This volume also includes reflections and traditional teachings emphasizing respect for the land, the importance of listening to place, and the understanding that healing begins with relationship.
This field guide reflects an ongoing effort to document, preserve, and share Indigenous plant knowledge while honoring the communities, landscapes, and teachings from which it emerges.
