Native People
The Native Americans saw the entire landscape as the source of their food. In addition to the abundance of fish, which was the staple of their diet, Northwest Indians harvested acorns, hazel nuts and pine nuts where available, and gathered the many vegetables, herbs and fruits which grew wild throughout the region. One of the best introductions to the indigenous uses of native plants is provided by Nancy Turner in her two-volume set, Food Plants of British Columbia Indians , and in her companion volume, Plants in British Columbian Indian Technology . These books span the traditional uses of plants in both the Maritime and Interior regions. Then as now, eating sometimes took on an added, social significance. As Nancy Turner describes it in Food Plants of the British Columbia Indians, Volume 2, Interior Peoples Every year in late spring, when the "Indian potato" and yellow avalanche lily ( Erythronium grandiflorum ) corms and other "roots" were ready to be dug, families gathered at Botanie from all over the surrounding countryside Thompson, Lillooet, and even Shuswap peoples, the former acting as hosts since they owned the valley to partake in the harvest. The valley assumed the atmosphere of a country fair, with games and competitions, visiting between old friends, reuniting of relatives, and undoubtedly courting of sweethearts. >From The Future is Abundant, A Guide to Sustainable Agriculture

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORD The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Native American languages It is not possible to determine exactly how many languages were spoken in the New World before the arrival of Europeans or how many people spoke these languages. Some scholars estimate that the Western Hemisphere at the time of the first European contact was inhabited by 40 million people who spoke 1,800 different tongues. Another widely accepted estimate suggests that at the time of Columbus more than 15 million speakers throughout the Western Hemisphere used more than 2,000 languages; the geographic divisions within that estimate are 300 separate tongues native to some 1.5 million Native Americans N of Mexico, 300 different languages spoken by roughly 5 million people in Mexico and Central America, and more than 1,400 distinct tongues used by 9 million Native Americans in South America and the West Indies.

    Eastman's Indian Boyhood does not reveal a clue to sexual development. This may be indicative of a reserved attitude, or of the truth. Anyway, as Karsch-Haack (1901 [1983:p243]) notes some authors in the middle of 19th century dedicated the racial decay of New Caledonian man to "countless immoralities" ("beispiellosen Ausschweifungen") perpetrated by women "from childhood on". According to Bales et al. (1994) "On the whole, American Indian societies were more permissive than any of the European Christian nations that began the conquest of Native America in the late 15th century. Among Indians, virginity was not necessarily prized in either sex. Sexual experimentation was regarded as ordinary adolescent behavior, and many tribes permitted—indeed expected— young people to gain sexual experience before marriage. […] As in other cultures, Native American sexual life and identity developed during childhood. The process varied from tribe to tribe in native North America, but most children learned about sexuality from adult behavior and talk. In the Qipi Eskimo society of the eastern Arctic, for example, parents taught about sex through play and example. Mothers and fathers openly touched, kissed, and admired their babies' genitals during infancy. Sexual play among Eskimo children continued well into adolescence. Children talked openly about sexual experiences, and parents took these discussions as a sign of normal child development. Nevertheless, parents discouraged masturbation during childhood. These people did not admire

    The History of Transportation
    "The official portfolio of limited edition prints for EXPO 86"
    Introduction
    When the first white man arrived in North America they found a continent already inhabited, Over thirty thousand years ago, so the historians say, the first "explorers" crossed land that is now under the Bering Strait and spread across the Americas. Over many years, these ancestors of the modern Inuit and Indian settled in different environments and became divided into numerous linguistic groups. These "native Americans" had no written language and their history was based on legends and stories passed down through the generations. The archeological evidence and oral traditions show a wide variety of lifestyles, customs and beliefs, as one can expect from such a large and diversified environment as the Americas. Even in Canada, about which "The History of Transportation" is written, the varied climate and terrain have moulded many "groups" of peoples, each very much at home and master of their world. Why the American Indians never evolved a wheeled vehicle has long been a puzzle to anthropologists. The Plains Indians had their travois, a v-shaped framework formed by tent poles with a skin tent cover tied on and household goods piled on top, the whole thing being dragged initially by a dog and later by a horse. Prior to this the Indians used the animal trails, eventually creating foot paths a foot or so wide through the forests and across the plains. Many of these footpaths later became highways and often showed the way through some of the wildest and most difficult country in Canada, the mountain passes of British Columbia.
