Book Archaeological Notes on Western Washington  and Adjacent British Columbia

Download or read book Archaeological Notes on Western Washington and Adjacent British Columbia written by Albert B. Reagan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archaeological Notes on Western Washington, and Adjacent British Columbia, Vol. 7 The field work on which this paper is based was carried on as time would permit while the writer had charge of the Lummi Indians in 1905 and the Quileute and Hoh Indians in 1905 to 1909. Western Washington and adjacent British territory, as here considered, embrace the Olympic Peninsula, the shores and islands of Puget Sound and Georgian Bay and that part of British Columbia lying northward from the International Boundary Line to the Fraser valley and delta. In general it is a most difficult region in which to do research work of any kind; for away from the trails and roads the fallen timber, underbrush and ferns make the forest such a jungle in most places. For convenience, the archaeology of the region will be considered under three general headings, viz.: The Archaeology of the Olympic Peninsula, The Archaeology of the Lummi Nooksack country, and The Archæological material in adjacent British territory. In submitting this paper the writer wishes to thank Messrs. Barton W. Evermann and E. W. Gifford of the California Academy of Sciences, Harlen I. Smith of the Canadian Geological Survey, F. W. Hodge of the Bureau of American Ethnology and Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, for their kind aid in helping him with the bibliography. The archaeological references given below were furnished by Mr. Charles W. Smith. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Ancient Pathways  Ancestral Knowledge

Download or read book Ancient Pathways Ancestral Knowledge written by Nancy J. Turner and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 1091 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 1: The History and Practice of Indigenous Plant Knowledge Volume 2: The Place and Meaning of Plants in Indigenous Cultures and Worldviews Nancy Turner has studied Indigenous peoples' knowledge of plants and environments in northwestern North America for over forty years. In Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge, she integrates her research into a two-volume ethnobotanical tour-de-force. Drawing on information shared by Indigenous botanical experts and collaborators, the ethnographic and historical record, and from linguistics, palaeobotany, archaeology, phytogeography, and other fields, Turner weaves together a complex understanding of the traditions of use and management of plant resources in this vast region. She follows Indigenous inhabitants over time and through space, showing how they actively participated in their environments, managed and cultivated valued plant resources, and maintained key habitats that supported their dynamic cultures for thousands of years, as well as how knowledge was passed on from generation to generation and from one community to another. To understand the values and perspectives that have guided Indigenous ethnobotanical knowledge and practices, Turner looks beyond the details of individual plant species and their uses to determine the overall patterns and processes of their development, application, and adaptation. Volume 1 presents a historical overview of ethnobotanical knowledge in the region before and after European contact. The ways in which Indigenous peoples used and interacted with plants - for nutrition, technologies, and medicine - are examined. Drawing connections between similarities across languages, Turner compares the names of over 250 plant species in more than fifty Indigenous languages and dialects to demonstrate the prominence of certain plants in various cultures and the sharing of goods and ideas between peoples. She also examines the effects that introduced species and colonialism had on the region's Indigenous peoples and their ecologies. Volume 2 provides a sweeping account of how Indigenous organizational systems developed to facilitate the harvesting, use, and cultivation of plants, to establish economic connections across linguistic and cultural borders, and to preserve and manage resources and habitats. Turner describes the worldviews and philosophies that emerged from the interactions between peoples and plants, and how these understandings are expressed through cultures’ stories and narratives. Finally, she explores the ways in which botanical and ecological knowledge can be and are being maintained as living, adaptive systems that promote healthy cultures, environments, and indigenous plant populations. Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge both challenges and contributes to existing knowledge of Indigenous peoples' land stewardship while preserving information that might otherwise have been lost. Providing new and captivating insights into the anthropogenic systems of northwestern North America, it will stand as an authoritative reference work and contribute to a fuller understanding of the interactions between cultures and ecological systems.
