Download or read book Naut staarpet Our Plants written by Priscilla N. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Priscilla Russell worked with Elders to record information on plant harvesting, processing, and use, as well as their Alutiiq plant names, at a time when few others were collecting such information and when Alutiiq people were leery of sharing cultural information for fear of bigotry. Because Russell made the effort to visit Alutiiq communities and spend time with people, she was able to speak to many harvesters and document their knowledge extensively. The Elders Russell spoke with were born in the early decades of twentieth century, at a time when subsistence foods were the bulk of people's diets and before groceries could be dependably purchased in remote communities. Therefore, the knowledge in this book reaches back to an older era when it was commonplace for people to use wild plants for food, tools, fuel, and medicine.
