Our studied focused on the plants we were able to find near the school in the town of Macy.  It might be a small town, but it sure has a lot of plants out there to find and identify.  We collected plants at four different sites.  This was lots of hot work, but we are glad that we did it.  We were often times overwhelmed by the number of different plants around us once we actually started looking at the plants.  Every time we thought we knew them all, a new plant or two would show up.  Sometimes even Miss Klein had to look up the name of a plant before it could be correctly identified.  Each of us can now identify 40 to 50 plants that grow around Macy.  We all had our favorite plants like purple sandlove, morning glory, partridge pea, and goldenrod.

Each of us chose the plants we wrote our reports on.  We had lots of books to use.  Miss Klein says we were lucky to have so many resources so our reports can be nice and long because they didn't have so much information in the past.  (We wonder how lucky we really were.)  We were amazed by how our ancestors used these plants.  It was enlightening to know how our people survived this world by using Mother Earth.  Everyone found great information about the plants they picked.  One little plant can do so much for us.

We would like to thank Miss Klein and Mr. Widrowicz for teaching us all we know about plants and for their help, patience, and some good laughs!!  We would like to give Miss Klein a special thank you for correcting our plant reports over and over and over until they were perfect.  The Umoⁿhoⁿ Language Center deserves a big thank you for helping us with our plant names and our Indian names.

We want everyone to know how proud we are ourselves.  It was hard work getting this website together, and we could not have accomplished this without each other's support.  As you read our work, we hope you learn from it and use it help you identify and recognize the plants on our reservation.
