Throughout their long history the Apache lived in or traveled to many different parts of the plains, gaining an intimate knowledge of a wide variety of plant resources. Part of this traditional knowledge, especially that pertaining to plants of Oklahoma, has been captured here by Jordan's fieldwork, conducted with elders of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma in the mid-1960s, a time when much traditional knowledge was being lost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlains Apache Ethnobotany\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive ethnobotanical study of a southern plains tribe.
