This book is a must for beginners and serious students of herbs and of Native American ways. This set of herbal teachings, which draws strongly from the Muscogee tradition, presents an understanding of the healing nature of plants for the first time in book form. In a time of expanding awareness of the potential of herbs, this work shines and beckons. Tis Mal examines common wild plants and in a clear and authoritative style explains how to identify, honor, select, and prepare them for use. Illustrated and indexed by plant name and medical topic.

Summary: A Great Book Written by a Wonderful Person, Tis Mal Crow
Comment: Ayukii! ("Hello"! in my native language)
"Native Plants/ Native Healing" is a GREAT book, written by a wonderful and loving person: Tis Mal Crow. I knew Tis Mal personally since the 1980's. He was very knowledgeable about plants and herbs and their medicinal uses. He was also one of my closest friends, but we were more like brothers. There aren't many "root doctors" around - not like Tis Mal. He was one of the best.
I would like to thank Jerry Lee Hutchens, the "Native Voices" editor for the "Book Publishing Company" in helping Tis Mal's dream become a reality by helping him publish this great book.
Tis Mal and I danced at many Pow Wow's, and also made native regalia for many years. We used to sit for hours on end for months at a time to create beadwork. Tis Mal was well known for his bear claw necklaces, and his life-sized carved wooden dolls, dressed in traditional native american regalia.
Tis Mal Crow crossed over into the spirit world April, 2006. He had mentioned to me once that he "carried an old soul". To me, he was gentle, gifted, and wise beyond his years. He respected our Mother/Grandmother Earth, deeply loved her wonderful gifts, and respected all living things.
I miss him, and look forward to seeing him again in the spirit world.
Yootva. (Thank You.)

Summary: TN natural plants
Comment: I love this book. I dont know much about herbs but this book is very well written and informative. He gives a cure for almost every ailment and shows you how to look at a plant to determine its usage by its shape. My son that I homeschool loves to learn about all the usages of the plants, like cattails being used to make pancakes and clubhouses. I would purchase this book above any other, only because you can't find this information anywhere else. The only request I have of the author is to add more illustratoins of all plants discussed, so the ignorant (such as myself) know what to look for out in the wild.

Summary: Bringing it Down to Earth
Comment: When gathering plants out in the bush for medicine, it is useful to carry some kind of field guide. For the uninitiated, the most comprehensive field guides quickly overwhelm, frequently with "skull and crossbones" designations of toxicity.Native healer Tis Mal Crow reigns it all in by describing only 22 or so widely available and ubiquitous plants. Without the distancing effect of the western botanist describing "traditional uses", Tis Mal Crow gets down to earth: This is what it is. This is what it looks like. This is what it's for. This is how to use it - with appropriate cautions. Most importantly of all, Tis Mal Crow outlines the spirit and intent with which you must go gathering, to bond with and elicit the cooperative spirit of the plant involved. Native Plants, Native Healing is engaging. If you only ever work with these 22 plants, you will have learned much.
