MEDICINAL KNOWLEDGE
Below are 3 PDFs that document ancestral Houma medicines and explain the medical terms. Referenced from Daniel E. Moerman's NATIVE AMERICAN ETHNOBOTANY.
HOUMA ETHNOBOTANY
This PDF has the scientific names for local plants used in medicines, how they were used, and the common name for it. Forthcoming, hopefully the traditional Houma names will be added.
HOUMA PLANTS, OTHER USES
This PDF has various other uses for local plants, including hunting and fishing uses, food uses, etc.
MEDICAL DICTIONARY
A small dictionary explaining the medical terms used in the Houma Ethobotany PDF.
