Secwepemc Ethnobotany Marianne Ignace and Nancy Turner The objective of the Secwepemc Ethnobotany project is to carry out collaborative research with Secwepemc elders on the traditional knowledge and use of plants for medicine, food and technology, and within the system of traditional ecological knowledge and practices. Secwepemc elders from 17 communities have been interviewed in detail on their knowledge of plants, including Secwepemc language plant terms, gathering techniques and preparation of plants as food, medicine or for tools and implements. These interviews are recorded. Besides the details of plant use, particular focus has been on traditional ecological knowledge related to plants, including the social and spiritual discourse about plants, especially in stories. Furthermore, the project has collected information on traditional harvesting and plant propagation strategies, such as landscape burning, pruning, selective harvesting, soil cultivation through digging sticks, as well as on the impact of ranching, logging and mining on the availability and harvesting of traditional plants. With the help of Dr Harriet Kuehnlein from the Centre for the Study of Nutrition of Indigenous Peoples (CINE) in Montreal, nutritional analyses of food plants have been carried out. Another project collaborator, Dr George Nicholas (Archaeology, SCES/SFU) has carried out archaeological studies of plant use. Final products of this project will include: a monograph on Secwepemc Ethnobotany to be published in 1997 or 1998; extensive video film records of plant knowledge and preparation; a Secwepemc plants poster series as well as contributions to other publications.

Heiser Jr. When Europeans first arrived, in both eastern and southwestern North America north of Mexico, they found people who were practicing agriculture, much of it with crops from Mexico. Consequently, the use of native wild plants received scant attention. This changed, however, when the Europeans penetrated the areas inhabited by hunters and gatherers. According to R. I. Ford (1986), "the traditional use of plants and animals by American Indians is better documented than for the early peoples of any other continental area of the world." Ford has brought together a number of the significant papers dealing with the use of plants and animals by the native people. Furthermore, archaeological investigations, particularly in the last half century, have also contributed greatly to our understanding of the plants used by the native North Americans. The immigrants to North America from Europe brought the Old World crops to North America, and those plants soon came to be the dominant cultivated crops in northern North America. Many weeds, a few of which were found to serve useful purposes, were also introduced unintentionally.

Ethnobotany in the Forests of Belize While the world scrambles in the race against time to grapple with the enigmatic HIV virus, an aging traditional healer in Belize is guiding western scientists through the forest, sharing his knowledge of plants with medicinal value, and proving to be a contributor in the search for a cure. Traditional healer Don Eligio Panti has shown that he and his colleagues possess the knowledge that could expedite the search for plant compounds with anti-AIDS and anticancer activity. Researchers sought to identify the most effective collection method to generate the highest proportion of leads in the in-vitro screening process. Three collection strategies commonly used are the random method, the target method, and the ethnobotanical approach. The random method entails complete collection of plant samples found in a forest area, with major emphasis given to fruiting or flowering species. The second strategy, the target method, is to collect plants from families known to be high in biologically active compounds, such as alkaloids, glycosides, steroids or flavonoids. The ethnobotanical approach uses knowledge possessed by traditional healers about the medicinal uses of plants and their environment. This strategy is challenging in that it requires researchers to identify those people who possess knowledge of medicinal plants, and to secure their cooperation. Both the ethnobotanical and the random approach are used by the IEB. The hypothesis behind this research is that indigenous knowledge about medicinal plants, combined with collection and documentation of this knowledge by ethnobotanists, will yield a higher number of biologically active compounds from the screening program on a per sample basis, as compared to plants collected at random.

Luiseño Ethnobotany Home Fall Spring/Summer AIS ... Anthro The Luiseño are the most Southwestern group of Shoshonean people in the greater North American desert. The name Luiseño came from their having lived in close proximity to the Spanish mission San Luis Rey (1798-1834) which is located in northern San Diego County near Oceanside, California. Originally, the Luiseño may have been called Payomkawichum ('The Westerners') by neighboring people and Ataxum ('The People') by themselves. The Luiseño occupied parts of north coastal San Diego County and Riverside County in pre-Hispanic (before 1769) Southern California. It is theorized that the Luiseño came into Southern California approximately 5,000-7,000 years ago during severe altithermals (drought periods) from the Basin areas east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Their Shoshonean neighbors like the Cupeño, Cahuilla, Serrano, Gabrieliño and Chemehuevi were part of this migration. The Southern California environment is dominated by scrub plant communities that include the following : COMMUNITY SLOPE GROWTH HABITS TYPICAL PLANTS Coastal Sage Scrub(0-1500') South-facing Drought-decidious;small lvs;phytotoxins

Introduction to Tule Ethnobotany by Norm Kidder In many parts of the world tules, reeds, bulrushes and their relatives have been used by local groups as building material. The Egyptians used papyrus for paper and boats (more technically called balsas, or floats). A statue of King Tut shows him spearing hippos from a reed 'surfboard', while multi-ton slabs of stone are known to have been transported on large ocean going reed vessels. (See Thor Heyerdahl, the Ra Expeditions). Natives in other parts of Africa, the Marsh Arabs of Iraq, and Indians of South America, Mexico, and California also used the versatile reeds for watercraft. In this article I will stick to the uses of tule reeds by the Indian peoples of Central California and neighboring Nevada. Tule, seems to be both a general term for freshwater marshes and also for the sedges of the genus Scirpus. The term Tule Fog refers to moisture rising from the ground. The Spanish called the seasonally flooded center of the San Joaquin Valley the "tulares". In the San Francisco Bay area, the Common Tule is Scirpus acutus. This tule grows up to over 16 feet tall, has a round dark green stem, and only vestigial leaves. Its seed head is an open tassel normally 2 inches or less across. A similar looking relative, Scirpus californicus, or California Tri-square differs in having a lighter green and triangular stem, and a larger seed head. The tri-square also has a larger internal cell structure which makes it inferior for most construction purposes. A number of other species are found around the country, and may or may not prove suitable for making useable items.
