"The influence of distinguished ethnobotanist Turner is beautifully apparent throughout the collection. Plants, People, and Places confidently and compellingly asserts the value of ethnobotany and ethnoecology to the ongoing legal challenges of Indigenous peoples, and to the broader resurgence of Indigenous cultures around the world." Montreal Review of Books
"As a whole, Plants, People, and Places is a text that reminds us to nurture our curiosity and to engage with a diversity of sources. Its contributors remind us that land is a teacher, that plants communicate, and that human beings can find knowledge and wellness in plant-people relationships. It is a book that ought to be read broadly. Anyone researching native plant species, Indigenous foodways, or settler-Indigenous relations in what is now known as North America can benefit from the teachings bound in this collection." NiCHE
"I wholeheartedly recommend this book to ethnobotanists, communities facing challenges related to sovereignty, policymakers, herbalists, and anyone interested in traditional ecological knowledge, history, plants, and Indigenous rights. The volume has something for everyone: unusually rich descriptions of plant-people relationships and knowledge, detailed histories of settlement and resistance, and inspiration for those seeking to reclaim their land and heritage." Herbalgram: The Journal of the American Botanical Council "Plants, People, and Places [provides] a deep and comprehensive understanding of the vital role of Indigenous knowledge in the context of current environmental and legal frameworks. [It] makes a significant contribution to the restoration of Indigenous rights, sovereignty over land, and environmental sustainability [and] serves as both an academic resource and a call to action, advocating for the recognition and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge in shaping a more just and sustainable future for all."
