MOTHERS OF THE SUN

The Mothers of the Sun alphabet collection represents 26 plants and their medicines

along with the wisdom of 26 Native American Tribes that discovered their uses. 

Native American Ethnobotany is the primary resource, by Dan E. Moerman.

I was first inspired by an excerpt from Deb Soule’s book,

A WOMAN’S BOOK OF HERBS, the healing power of natural remedies.

“Eclectics and botanical practitioners received much of their knowledge from Native American people, but gave little credit to their sources. The exploitation of indigenous peoples’ knowledge and the destruction of their lands and communities occurred throughout the 1800’s and has continued into the present. This is a difficult piece of history that Western herbalists ignore.”
