In 1916 anthropologist Gilbert L. Wilson worked closely with Buffalobird-woman, a highly respected Hidatsa born in 1839 on the Fort Berthold Reservation in western North Dakota, for a study of the Hidatsas' uses of local plants. What resulted was a treasure trove of ethnobotanical information that was buried for more than seventy-five years in Wilson's archives, now held jointly by the Minnesota Historical Society and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Wilson recorded Buffalobird-woman's insightful and vivid descriptions of how the nineteenth-century Hidatsa people had gathered, prepared, and used the plants and wood in their local environment for food, medicine, smoking, fiber, fuel, dye, toys, rituals, and construction. From courtship rituals that took place while gathering Juneberries, to descriptions of how the women kept young boys from stealing wild plums as they prepared them for use, to recipes for preparing and cooking local plants, Uses of Plants by the Hidatsas of the Northern Plains provides valuable details of Hidatsa daily life during the nineteenth century.

"I was born in an earth lodge by the mouth of the Knife River, in what is now North Dakota, three years after the smallpox winter." So begins the story of Waheenee, a Hidatsa Indian woman, born in 1839 amid a devastated tribe. In 1906 Gilbert L. Wilson first visited the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and began to study the remnants of the Hidatsa tribe. He returned in 1908, sponsored by the American Museum of Natural History, and for every summer of the next ten years he worked among the Hidatsas, making notes of all he saw. One of his chief informants was Waheenee-wea, or Buffalo-Bird Woman, who told him this, her life story.

Buffalo Bird Woman, a Hidatsa Indian born about 1839, was an expert gardener. Following centuries-old methods, she and the women of her family raised huge crops of corn, squash, beans, and sunflowers on the rich bottomlands of the Missouri River in what is now North Dakota. When she was young, her fields were near Like-a-fishhook, the earth-lodge village that the Hidatsa shared with the Mandan and Arikara. When she grew older, the families of the three tribes moved to individual allotments on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation.In Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden, first published in 1917, anthropologist Gilbert L. Wilson transcribed the words of this remarkable woman, whose advice today's gardeners can still follow. She describes a year of activities, from preparing and planting the fields through cultivating, harvesting, and storing foods. She gives recipes for cooking typical Hidatsa dishes. And she tells of the stories, songs, and ceremonies that were essential to a bountiful harvest.A new introduction by anthropologist and ethnobotanist Jeffery R. Hanson describes the Hidatsa people's ecologically sound methods of gardening and Wilson's work with this traditional gardener.Praise for Buffalo Bird Woman's Garden:"A gem of a book useful for today's gardener." —Organic Gardener"One of the best gardening books around." —City Pages"Every gardener and agricultural scientist should find gems of practical wisdom in these pages, borne from an age-old tradition when sustainable agricultural practices . . . made the difference in sustaining life. Fascinating!" —Foster's Botanical & Herb Review"Historical photographs and diagrams of farming techniques, along with actual recipes and Hidatsa vegetable varieties, make this gem of a book useful for today'' gardener." —Organic Gardening

Goodbird, ein Hidatsa, war der Sohn von Waheenee, geboren 1870. Er erlebte die alten Traditionen des Erdhüttendorfes, in dem die Frauen Landwirtschaft betrieben, bis hin zu einer Zeit, in der man sich den erzwungenen Veränderungen angepasst hatte, während wichtige kulturelle Elemente trotz pädagogischer, religiöser und anderer Bemühungen, sie zu verändern, beibehalten wurden. Als Junge lernte Goodbird noch die traditionelle Jagd mit Pfeil und Bogen und schlich durch das Unterholz des fruchtbaren Landes am Missouri River, das 1954 vom Garrison-Damm überflutet wurde. Goodbird schildert eindringlich die Auswüchse des "Dawes Allotment Act" und die damit erzwungene Umsiedlung der Mandan, Arikara und Hidatsa nach Independence im heutigen Fort Berthold Reservat in North Dakota. Dieses Buch ist Goodbirds eigene Lebensgeschichte, die eine Zeit abdeckt, in der die Kultur des Volkes fast zerstört wurde – mit besonderen Angriffen auf die Religion – und sie Farmer werden sollten. Ein wertvolles Zeitzeugnis, erzählt aus indigener Sicht.Der Autor Gilbert L. Wilson hat in vielen Interviews diese Lebensgeschichte aufgeschrieben … und lässt Goodbird mit dessen eigenen Worten erzählen.
