Native wisdom via A.I. 'Wes Kingfisher'?

Heal, feed, and warm family and friends from the land itself

The Native American Way — 101 field-tested remedies, skills, and recipes passed down by Grandmother Ada from the hills of eastern Oklahoma.

The backyard pharmacy, the wild pantry, fire, shelter, clean water, and the winter table — the old ways written down plain, before the last of them are gone (now only $17).

AI "Wes Kingfisher" is a pen name, and "his" eBook was created with AI assistance. It is written in the "voice" of a Native American elder for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice — so consult a competent physician before using any herbal remedy, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking an allopathic pharmaceutical.

Wild plants can have deadly lookalikes, so never forage, eat, or use any plant without confirming its identity with a local expert or an authoritative field guide.

Foraging and wilderness skills carry inherent risks. This book is no substitute for learning directly from the remaining Native communities and elders who have stewarded these traditions for 10,000 years and longer.

• BOOK: Americans are paying top dollar for what grows free in our own yard! That bottle of pills started life as a tree down by the creek. The comfort our great-grandmothers made in the kitchen now comes with a barcode and a hefty markup. Nobody locked this knowledge away out of spite — but rather, the chain got broken, one elder at a time, one quiet library closing forever. Sound familiar? (weskingfisherbooks.com)
• WARNING: By completing a purchase, purchaser consents to immediate delivery of digital content and waives the 14-day withdrawal right.

• DISCLAIMER: Why would Wisdom Quarterly promote this book by an invented character?

It is because the writer-publisher ("Wes Kingfisher Books") is honest enough to say Wes Kingfisher a pen name and this eBook was written with A.I. assistance (at the bottom of the landing page in small print). And in the future, AI and eBooks may be the closest we ever get to any remaining "Native wisdom."
