Under Prairie Skies, C. Thomas Shay explores the role of plants in the lives of early inhabitants of the northern Great Plains. Since the end of the Ice Age, plants have played a vital role in Native peoples' lives, providing valuable foods, medicinal value, and materials for crafts. Through ethnobotanical studies, personal stories, and research techniques, the book highlights how Native peoples have incorporated plants into their daily lives, becoming deeply connected to the land both materially and spiritually. Initially, some groups cultivated seed-bearing annuals, and later, fields of maize and other crops. Throughout history, their lives have been intertwined with the land, shaping their culture, traditions, and way of life.
