    Extractions: Ethnobotany the traditional uses of plants by native peoples The evolution and success of human cultures rest upon a foundation of the uses of particular plants. Plants are used as food, materials, medicine, reli gious cerem onies, and for recreation. Human history is replete with examples of human cultures collapsing when plant resources become de plete d. One such example is the extinction of the Anasazi culture of Southwest America. With the cultivation of maize ( Zea mays , family Poaceae) and the latter cultivation of beans ( Phaseolus spp , family Fabaceae), the Anasazi largely abandoned their hunter-gatherer ways (hunting, however, remained a major source or meat) and adopted a sedentary, agrarian lifestyle. By 100 B.C.E., the Anasazis had built large cities (relative to the times) with over a 1,000 inhabitants living in the Mesa Verde, Colorado area. Some of the amazing structures they built are still intact (see image on left; courtesy of the US National Park Service; to learn more about Mesa Verde National Park, click on the image).

Ethnobotanists aim to document, describe and explain complex relationships between cultures and (uses of) plants: focusing, primarily, on how plants are used, managed and perceived across human societies (e.g. as foods; as medicines; in divination; in cosmetics; in dyeing; as textiles; in construction; as tools; as currency; as clothing; in literature; in rituals; and in social life.) Though the term " ethnobotany " was not coined until 1895 by the US botanist John William Harshberger, the history of the field begins long before that. In AD 77, the Greek

    Extractions: Illustration from Gentle Conquest Tracer Bullet 97-1 SCOPE Ethnobotany is a term coined in 1895 to encompass the study of the applications and economic potential of plants used by native peoples. During the first half of the 20th century the anthropological and ecological aspects of the use of plants by indigenous populations became increasingly important. However, it was during the second half of the 20th century that ethnobotany flourished and that ethnobotanical surveys, studies, and reports on explorations proliferated. These studies were fueled by the interests of major universities, pharmaceutical firms, and government agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, who greatly expanded their programs in natural products research in hopes of finding new medicines for a variety of ills, including cancer, diabetes, and disorders of the immune system. This compilation provides sources useful in chronicling the history of ethnobotany as well as references to published materials on all forms of vegetation which the aboriginal inhabitants of North and South America used for commodities, such as medicine, food, textiles, and ornaments. Material on the interrelations between indigenous peoples, plants and society is also included. Not intended to be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is designed as the name of the series implies to put the reader "on target."

    Extractions: This page contains three separate articles on ethnobotany: Modern Botany, Ancient Shamanism Botany, the study of plants, dates back thousands of years. But it wasn't until 1753 that Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish naturalist, produced the first comprehensive system of plant classification and nomenclature in his book Species Plantarum , thus beginning the era of modern botany. Linnaeus attempted to classify most of the world's flora, which he estimated at 10,000 species. But in 1847, after a century of exploration and colonization of the Western hemisphere, British botanist John Lindley recalculated the number of species in the Plant Kingdom to be nearly 100,000. The subsequent exploration of the flora of the world's rainforests have increased that number by increments to today's 750,000. Of those, botanist Wade Davis-whose book The Serpent and the Rainbow deals with his search for the plant compound used in Haitian Voodoo to zombify people-estimates that about 10 percent, roughly 75,000, are considered edible. Of those, only 150 have entered world commerce, and only 20, mostly domesticated cereals and tubers, stand between the human race and starvation. In addition to foods, several thousands of plants have been used by different peoples as medicines. Those include the nearly 150 still in use today-mostly in religious or spiritual healing contexts-which have varying degrees of hallucinogenic properties. Natural hallucinogens are found in the flora-and in a few members of the Animal Kingdom as well-of every continent but Antarctica. According to famed Harvard botanist Richard Schultes, they have been used at some point in the development of most cultures to one extent or another. In the preface to their book

    Extractions: Indigenous knowledge is as old as human civilisation but the term ethnobotany was first coined by an American botanist, John Harshburger, in 1896, to study the plants used by the primitive and aboriginal people. Since then it has been defined as the traditional knowledge of indigenous communities, about surrounding plant diversity and as the study of how the people of a particular culture and region make use of indigenous plants.

Contact us WWF - Pakistan realised, after its extensive interaction with the local communities in the field, that local people have extensive knowledge of the plants growing around them. But due to lack of an an agency, either in the government or the private sector, their knowledge has never been used for the conservation of plant resources in the region. The purpose of the project is to build capacity in Applied Ethnobotany in Asia, (especially Malaysia, Nepal and Pakistan) for the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of plant resources. Internationally, it works by contributing towards the identification and promotion of the best practices in indigenous plant use.

    Extractions: Time Line and Links This list of indigenous plant use in Central Washington has been derived from a number of sources. Possibilities exist for plants to be misidentified by informants, data recorders, and by you! The information within this index was originally thought up by people who also knew much more about the proper preparation of some plants than you or I will probably ever know. In short- we've got plenty of food and medicines available at grocery stores across America- so please don't experiment. Most of the species included on this list are not inclusive to Central Washington, but have wider distributions throughout the Northwest or larger. This list mainly covers the use of the plants within the interior Salish and Sahaptin speaking people of Washington and British Columbia, but at times I have included other tribes uses when no local use was known.
