ETHNOBOTANY OF THE TEWA INDIANS By Wilfred W. Robbins, John P. Harrington, and BarbaraFreire-Marreco 1 INTRODUCTIONScope of Ethnobotany ETHNOBOTANY is virtually a new field of research, a field which,if investigated thoroughly and systematically, will yield resultsof great value to the ethnologist and incidentally also to the botanist.Ethnobotany is a science, consequently scientific methods of studyand investigation must be adopted and adhered to as strictly as in anyof the older divisions of scientific work. It is a comparatively easymatter for one to collect plants, to procure their names from theIndians, then to send the plants to a botanist for determination, andultimately to formulate a list of plants and their accompanying Indiannames, with some notes regarding their medicinal and other uses.Ethnobotanical iethnobotanyoftew00robb_0
