Origin Story: Plants in Native American Food Culture

These are additional digital humanities visualization tests for a project looking to explore the types of wild plants used by Native Nations in the Upper Midwest. Immediately after starting this project, I saw how the different ways of looking at information could change how I organized my thoughts about the subject itself. 

Each color represents one of the major tribes of the region as represented by the dataset. This data was collection from the Native American Ethnobotany Database. The database was compiled through historical ethnographic and ethnobotanical field work publications.
