Introduction
This bulletin is the fourth in a series of six on the ethnobotany of the Wisconsin Indians. They cover the present uses of native and introduced plants and, so far as is possible, aboriginal plant uses. Indian plant lore is rapidly vanishing, for the younger generation is losing its taste for the ancient customs.
The Forest Potawatomi came to this state in early historic times and were directly in the path of the French-Jesuit missionaries and voyageurs, the ethnologist must therefore be careful in estimating just how much influence the missionary has had upon his uses of plants.
