83. Quanah Parker/Peyote Brief history of Parker s role in the spread of Christian peyotism. Includes plant description and recommended reading list. http://www.stainblue.com/quanahparker.html

Quanah Parker, born ca. 1845 in Oklahoma, was chief of the Quahadi Comanches, the last band to surrender in the South Plains war of 1874-1875. His father Peta Nocona was a revered war chief of the Nocone Comanches. His mother Cynthia was a white woman who as a child had been captured by the Comanches on May 19, 1836, at Fort Parker, in Limestone County, Texas. Parker was influential in the spread of Christian peyotism among the Plains Indians. He was the first to integrate highly ritualized Christian elements with the Indians' traditional use of peyote, and insisted that women not be excluded from such ceremonies. The town of Quanah, Texas settled in 1884 and named for Quanah Parker is the seat of Hardeman County, in North Texas. Today, bona fide religious use of peyote by such organizations as the Native American Church continues and is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as well as several sections of the Arizona Constitution pursuant to Arizona State Judge Yale McFate's July 26, 1960 ruling. States permitting the religious use of peyote include Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Minnesota and Nevada, among others.

84. Psilocybe Cubensis/Psilocybe Subcubensis Materia medica of the psychoactive mushroom used by natives of subtropical regions. http://www.stainblue.com/cubensis.html

Discovered by F.S. Earle in Cuba in 1904 (as Stropharia cubensis ), this species is the largest and, arguably, the most handsome of all the Psilocybes. Where other Psilocybes are just plain folk, cubensis is gentry. In 1907 it was collected in Tonkin (now N. Vietnam) by N. Patouillard, and again in 1939 near Huautla de Jimenez, Oaxaca, Mexico, by acclaimed Harvard botanist and explorer Richard Evans Schultes , who described it in the Harvard University Botanical Museum Leaflets, and deposited specimens in the Farlow Herbarium at Harvard. Schultes was aided by Dr. Blas Pablo Reko , a Mexican naturalist who was one of the first to unravel the mystery surrounding the Indians' use of the divine mushrooms. Unaware of these previous citings, W.A. Murrill described it in 1941 as the Florida novelty, Stropharia cyanescens . It is also one of the most widespread psychoactive species in the subtropics, ranging from the U.S. Gulf Coast, where it fruits virtually year-round on cow pies, to Mexico, Central America, South America, West Indies, Thailand, Cambodia, India and Australia.

91. "A Certain Herb Called Coca" A study of coca s role in Andean society and its under-valuation by scholars. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlvoris/thesis.html

"A Certain Herb Called Coca:" A Study of Coca's Role in Andean Society and Its Under-valuation by Scholars Jeffrey Voris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the B.A. in "In certain valleys, among the mountains, the heat is marvellous, and there do groweth a certain herb called Coca, which the Indians do esteem more than gold or silver; the leaves thereof are like unto Zamake (sumach); the virtue of this herb, found by experience, is that any man having these leaves in his mouth hath never hunger nor thirst." -Augustin de Zarate, contador real Many writers, both colonial and modern, refer to coca in passing when they examine the rise of complex societies in the Central Andes. They note its prevalence and importance in ethnohistoric times, but they then practically ignore it in consideration of the process by which complex societies arose and maintained themselves. They most often write glowingly, albeit briefly, of the use of coca in ceremonies or in trading, but fail to analyze the depth or breadth of its influence in the pre-Hispanic and colonial Andes. However, coca cannot be so easily divorced from relations of growth in social complexity. In fact, coca was an integral economic and social unifier in stratified Andean society. For the purposes of this study we will consider the leaves of the shrub called coca, of the genus Erythroxylum. Particularly, the types to which we refer are the several cultivated South American varieties containing the alkaline cocaine.[2] The low content of cocaine in the leaves precludes the mind-altering and addictive effects of refined cocaine, and a great many Andean people chew the leaves of the plant for their mild narcotic effects. Because coca lessens high altitude stress, it essentially makes life more bearable in the harsh vertical landscape of the Andean mountains. In the words of María Rostworowski de Diez Canseco, "[c]oca was used as medicine and stimulation, to allay cold, fatigue, pain, and hunger, as well as for ritual and social purposes."[3] Further, according to ethnographer Catherine J. Allen, "when masticated with calcium carbonate, coca's effect is similar to that produced by a cup of coffee and an aspirin tablet."[4]

Biodiversity December 10th, 2009 by Quqabita The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity. It is a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. The world is invited to take action in 2010 to safeguard the variety of life (biodiversity) on earth.This ties very well with our objectives. banana is staple food in many parts of the world This website is about plants and people. We are interested in Biological Diversity, broadly speaking we are interested in understanding and recording how plants, human and animal interact with their biological environment. The last few years have seen significant interest in how people utilise plants. Plant utilisation is only part of the large body of environmental knowledge held by a community in any given habitat. This unique knowledge and experience has been termed local knowledge system. Local or indigenous knowledge is basically the sum total of the knowledge on culture, nature and the physical world held by a particular people living in a particular location.

The African Journal of Ethnobiology is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal for the dissemination of ethnoscientific information and related activities giving you access to books, full text articles, research reports and abstracts not available digitally anywhere else. Membership is open to academic and non-academics interested in exploring human interactions with their biological world; people, nature, plants and animals. Research interest and activities in the areas of Ethnobotany,Ethnobiology and Traditional Ecological Knowledge Systems have increased tremendously in the last few years. In tandem with this, the number of research publications has more than doubled in many parts of the world. However, this has not happened in Africa due to lack of research funding and publication channels creating a huge information gap. This is what this journal hopes to bridge.
