Indigenous Plants & Native Uses in the Northeast.




All the plants listed here grow along the trails of Schoolhouse Brook Park in
Mansfield, Connecticut. This list was compiled specifically for a trail-side tour
that described the Native American uses of local plants for food and
medicine, as well as some technological and ceremonial uses. Every attempt
was made to credit particular Native American Tribes with the information
researched. The gathering walk follows the trails, a WOODED trail on the
north side of Clover Mill Road (which follows part of the traditional Nipmuc
Trail) , and a POND SIDE trail on the south side of Clover Mill Road.
(Gathering walk tours were provided for the Nipmuc Indian Association of
CT, and for the CT State Museum of Natural History).
