    Extractions: 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

    Extractions: Information provided by the Seattle Public Library in conjunction with the Washington Park Arboretum In its broadest sense, ethnobotany is the study of how people interact with plants. The tradition of using plants to fulfill daily needs dates back to the beginning of human civilization and continues today. We all practice ethnobotany when we decorate our homes with plants, add spices to our meals, or select a certain type of wood to build something useful. Great efforts have been made over the last 50 years to record the historical and modern uses of plants, whether they be for medicinal, spiritual, practical, or culinary purposes. Here are some of the sources at the Seattle Public Library that provide information on the many ways plants have met the needs of people worldwide.

    Extractions: Professor Nina L. Etkin A wide range of research is conducted in the name of Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology,by a variety of professionals, many of whom are located in departments of Anthropology and Botany. Prospective students should organize their immediate future by first selecting a graduate program in a discipline that is intellectually most compelling. The UH Department of Anthropology offers graduate degrees in Anthropology, allowing specialization in Medical Anthropology, with concentration on ethnomedicine, ethnopharmacology, and cognate themes. Other Anthropology faculty, although not technically specialists in Medical Anthropology, complement the concentration and will interest students in theory, areal/geographic specialty, field methods, application, and so on. Students of Medical Anthropology can focus primarily on the biological or the social/cultural ends of the spectrum, or more centrally (bioculturally) as I do. I am prepared and interested to advise students regardless of which perspective(s) they find most compelling.

However, this does not mean viewing human beings as intruders in nature, but as an integral part of nature. Only the management of natural resources by persons who have legitimate authority of them through ownership is consonant with human freedom and dignity. Imposing one's will concerning the environment on other persons through tyrannical laws is unacceptable. Each person, as an individual, has direct responsibility for stewardship of the environment in which he lives.

It is not our intention to represent that any of the information is useful to treat or cure any medical condition, and we urge any person with a medical condition to consult with a qualified practitioner.

    Extractions: It is also designed to give students hands-on experience in the search for medicinal plants in the Neotropics. Techniques for characterization of the forest and map making will be learned. The course will consist of lectures and field work, with field work representing a large portion of the course. Students will participate in the exploration of the island of Ometepe and the rain forest at La Suerte. The island of Ometepe is a particularly attractive site for such studies since it had served as the meeting place for the Mayan and Inca cultures. When the shamans from the north and south traveled to Ometepe, they brought with them and planted seeds of the plants that they would need both for rituals and medicines.

Amorphophallus konjac - inflorescence Amorphophallus konjac (A.rivieri) tubers are processed to make noodles, slimming preparations, and vegetarian (vegan) 'gel' capsules. The bark from an Heteropsis species is used for making baskets (it's Waorani name, otome, means "basket vine"), lashing together house beams and binding the halves of blowpipes. It is said to be the strongest liana of the forest. The Waorani also eat it's yellow fruit. Cow.ntob.cagi, an unidentified climbing epiphyte that has a conspicuous red spadix and a compound leaf with 10 segments.

    Extractions: What is Ethnobotany? Ethnobotany is the study of how different cultures use plants. A plant can be used in many different ways. It can be used to make housing, tools, or clothing, used in religious ceremonies or used to treat illness. Who are ethnobotanists? At one time ethnobotanists were almost always western scientists who studied native people and how they used plants. Now native people themselves are taking over the role of making their own cultural heritage available to the world. All cultures have ethnobotany, but ethnobotanists work mainly with native peoples, because their unique knowledge is most likely to be lost. Tribal healers sometimes share their vast knowledge of healing plants with ethnobotanists. Scientists then study the plant and its effects in the lab. Many of the modern medicines we have today were discovered in this way. Preservation is important. Around the world, native peoples and the plants that they have relied upon are disappearing at an alarming rate. It is important to preserve not only habitats but cultures as well. Who are the Tongva?
