Extractions: In classical Greek mythology, the Earth-Goddess Gaia brought forth all life on planet Earth. All the different species of fungi, plants, animals, insects and fish were her children, yet also a part of her body. Gaia breathed life into them all, and all were equally important. An interrelated web of life, each species dependent on all others. From her, all live proceeded and to her all must return. She was the womb and the tomb of life. This co-evolutionary vision of life recognizes nature itself as the source and sustainer of all existence, the central hub of the wheel on which all the individual strands of life depend. Without her all encompassing nurturing, life would not be possible at all. This ancient story is echoed in mythologies around the world. It stems from a time long ago, when mankind still had awe and respect for the forces of nature. But then a new belief spread like a cancer across the surface of the earth, deeming mankind to be the pinnacle of creation and demanding that we should take dominion over the earth, and over all that there creepeth...

http://www.cwnp.org/ethnobot2.html

Extractions: People have lived in Central Washington for over 12,500 years. Before contact with European cultures people lived in close proximity to the Columbia River, and journeyed up the valleys and into the Columbia Plataeu for seasonal hunting and gathering trips. People lived in very small groups, made up of close family ties. These groups might have been composed of 2 to 15 people that travelled to hunting and gathering grounds together. As time went on the population of this area expanded and people began to form small bands, and occupy small villages. Tribal groups in this area include Salishan speaking people to the north- the Methow (Mitois, Chiliwists), Entiat (Sinialkumuhs, Point de Bois), Chelan (Tsill-anes) Wenatchee (Pisquows, Wenatchi), Sinkiuse (Kawachens, Moses Columbia, Isle des Pierres), and Shahaptian speaking groups to the south- the Wanapums (Sakulks) and the now extinct groups of Pshwahwapam and Mical. This area is thought to have sustained at least 20,000 to 30,000 Native Americans before infectious diseases, war, and the reservation system decimated the population.

http://fadr.msu.ru/rodale/agsieve/txt/vol5/1/art1.html

Extractions: 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.
Secwepemc Ethnobotany
Living Landscapes - Thompson / Okanagan Past, Present, and Future- Secwepemc ethnobotany Marianne Ignace and Nancy Turner.
http://royal.okanagan.bc.ca/octconf/abstract/ignace.html

Extractions: 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.

http://www.erowid.org/entheogens/ethnobotany/ethnobotany_heiser.shtml

Extractions: 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.
