    http://www.sacredearth.com/ethnobotanyportal.htm
    
    Extractions: Ethnobotany is defined as the study of the relationship between people and plants and most commonly refers to the study of indigenous uses of plants. In other words, it is the marriage between cultural anthropology and botany, a study that investigates the roles of plants as medicine, nurishment, natural resources or gateways to the gods. Usually it is considered a relatively young field of study. Officially it has only been recognized as an academic discipline for about a hundred years. However, this view is deceptive. In fact, the investigation of plants and their uses is one of the most primary human concerns, which has been practiced by all cultures for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of years - its just that it wasn't called 'Ethnobotany' then. People have always depended on plants for their primary needs, (food, shelter, warmth, medicines, etc.etc.), and thus naturally have learned their uses. In the course of nomadic roaming this knowledge was exchanged with neighboring tribes, friends and foe and was gradually expanded upon. Thus, plant knowledge has been passed around the world since the beginning of time - and frequently the actual plants themselves have spread along with it.

    Postgraduate Programme in ethnobotany. Master of Science in ethnobotany. The Collaborating Institutions. Why study ethnobotany at Kent and Kew?  
    http://www.kent.ac.uk/anthropology/courses/pgethno.html
    
    Extractions: The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew This programme draws on the combined strengths of three academic centres. At the University of Kent at Canterbury, the Department of Anthropology has pioneered research and teaching in ethnobiology and human ecology; it has been rated excellent for Teaching, and its work in anthropological approaches to the environment flagged for excellence in the most recent HEFCE Research Assessment Exercise. The Durrell Institute for Conservation and Ecology (DICE) is known internationally for its work in the study and practical implementation of biodiversity management around the world. The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew has unrivalled plant collections and botanical expertise, as well as long-standing global involvement with economic botany. All three partners are involved in major funded projects which have resulted in substantial published output. Members of staff have particular expertise in ethnobiological classification, historical ecology, computing applications, indigenous knowledge, ethnographic research methods, the human ecology of tropical subsistence systems, wildlife conservation, biodiversity management, agricultural change, sustainable development, economic botany and plant taxonomy. Regionally, we have relevant research experience in South East Asia, the Pacific, tropical South America, Mesoamerica, and sub-Saharan Africa.

    Concise history of both the Illini Shawnee, developed by a group of highschool students studying ethnobotany.  
    http://www.schools.lth5.k12.il.us/bths-e/illiniwek.html
    
    Extractions: "In 1673, the Illinois Confederacy included about twelve tribes: Kaskaskia, Maroa, Cahokia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Tapouaro, Coiracoentanon, Espeminka, Moingwena, Chinkoa, Chepoussa, and the Michigamea. "By 1700, all but the Cahokia, Kaskaskia, Michigamea, Peoria, and Tamaroa had disappeared from the territory, through either original misidentification (some of the groups designated as tribes may have been only subdivisions of a tribe) or absorption into other tribes. As their populations diminished, these tribes, too, merged: the Tamaroa and Michigamea joined the Kaskaskia, and the Cahokia merged with the Peoria. "With increasing pressure from the tribes on the East, as the Iroquois were forced West pushing the Great Lakes tribes ahead of them, the Illinois tribes concentrated in the face of hostilities. After a Kaskaskian Indian killed the Ottawa chief, Pontiac, in 1769, provoking enmity of the Lake tribes, the Illinois took refuge for a period with the French at the village of Kaskaskia. It was at this time that the Sauk, Fox, Kickapoo, and Potowatomi began to move into the territory vacated by the Illiniwek. "During the latter part of the eighteenth century, the remaining Illinois, their populations greatly diminished, inhabited an area along the Kaskaskia and Big Muddy rivers in southern Illinois, while some members of the combined tribes were moving across the Mississippi River into reservation lands on the Missouri Territory. "In 1832, the last of the Illinois lands were ceded to the United States government and the survivors withdrew across the Mississippi River. Only eight Kaskaskia warriors were included in the group that settled with the Peoria in Kansas. Two hundred Peoria and Kaskaskia were reported on the reservation in 1840. By 1851, the Indian agent reported that their tribal identification had been lost and only a few remained. By the end of the century, the Illiniwek were essentially gone except for the Peoria Indian Tribe of Oklahoma which numbered a little over 400 in 1956.

In fact, Captain Smith included an illustration of the plant and originated the common name because of its superficial resemblance to English ivy ( Hedera helix ) or Boston ivy ( Parthenocissus tricuspidata ). The name ivy or "hiedra" was also used by early Mexican settlers in California who mistakenly thought poison oak was a kind of ivy. A little-known subspecies of poison ivy, T. radicans

    Ethical guidelines for wildcrafting of native plants of the southwest.

    Extractions: The Ethical Wildcrafting of Native Plants of the Southwest Wildcrafting is Stewardship of the Earth Wildcrafting is the gathering of plant material from it's native "wild" environment. Wildcrafters need to be concerned about damaging or depleting our inheritance from nature. Wildcrafters are looking for a way to connect with nature for the day and finish with some plants for food, medicine, fiber or art. Here are some recommendations for wildcrafting with integrity. Always wildcraft with thoughts of beauty. Ask yourself how much more beautiful will this plant community be when I am finished gathering. (United Plant Savers 1998) Your first concern should be about the plant community and not how many plants you need. Do not upset undisturbed native soil because it is rare and precious. Strive for zero waste; take only as many plants you can reasonably use at one time. Leave mature seed producing plants to reproduce. Know which species are at risk in the bio-region. Approach natural ecosystems with thoughts of respect and be open to clues from the environment you are in.

    Extractions: Range of the genus Taxus choose a species: T. baccata T. brevifolia T. canadensis T. cuspidata T. floridana T. globosa T. sumatrana Taxus Linnaeus 1753 Yew (1). Seven species in this treatment. The species of Taxus are more geographically than morphologically separable; they were all treated by Pilger (3) as subspecies of T. baccata . All species are poisonous; most contain the anti-cancer agent taxol; and a study of heartwood constituents of T. baccata, T. brevifolia, T. cuspidata and T. floridana found them to be chemically almost identical (4). However, the vast ecological amplitude displayed by the various described species (over 60° of latitude and an impressive temperature and precipitation range) suggests that they are, in a meaningful sense, true species. "Detailed study of the genus (not neglecting the cultivated representatives), including extensive fieldwork, is much needed and long overdue" (2). There are hundreds of yew cultivars (4). "Trees or shrubs, dioecious or monoecious. Bark reddish brown, scaly. Branches ascending to drooping; twigs irregularly alternate, green or yellow-green when young, reddish brown in age. Leaves often appearing 2-ranked, flexible; stomates abaxial, in 2 broad, pale bands; apex soft-pointed, mucronate, not sharp to touch; resin canal absent. Pollen cones globose, yellowish, with 4 - 16 peltate sporophylls, each bearing 2 - 9 sporangia. Ovule 1. Seed maturing in 1 season, brown; aril scarlet to orange-scarlet, soft, mucilaginous, thick, cup-shaped, open at apex, exposing hard seed coat; albumen uniform.

"If we are thoughtful, I think we can use technology to support rather than erode indigenous cultures," said Cox, who works at the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kauai, Hawaii.
