This is a stunning book, full of heart and heart break. It chronicles the life of Nicholas Black Elk during the falling of the Native people.

This is an excellent book, especially because of how it is transferable to forest gardens as opposed to traditional gardens. Her methods are no-till and focus on the use of mulch.
