Montana Culturally Significant Plants

Dan Moerman at the University of Michigan developed a database of culturally significant plant species for Montana Native American peoples. The database lists plant-derived foods, drugs, dyes, and fibers used by Native American peoples. The database also contains the plant symbol, scientific name, common name, and growth habit for each plant. Additional species information is available for culturally significant plants under “Plant Topics” in the USDA PLANTS database.
