A Handbook of Native American Herbs by Alma R. Hutchins, the pocket version of her authoritative Indian Herbalogy of North America, which is now out of print.

An herbalist whose writings have helped me: Susun S. Weed, who can be found online and in books. Ignore the bad site layout; her herbal e-zine is great, and has searchable archives for several years.

I was thinking of you and your crew Stephanie. I know that they were looking to do some outreach at some point, so it may all work out together.
