Abstract

The Indian lives close to nature and utilizes the plants which grow about him, and these uses differ among various tribes. In order therefore to understand the ethnobotany of any group of Indians it is necessary to know something of their history, customs, mythology, religion and medicine. Hence in treating the ethnobotany of the Acoma and Laguna Indians the above phases of their culture will be discussed as they relate to these two pueblos.
