JOURNAL OF NORTHWEST ANTHROPOLOGY VOLUME 43 FALL 2009 NUMBER 2 BALANOPHAGY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: THE ACORN-LEACHING PITS AT THE SUNKEN VILLAGE WETSITE AND COMPARATIVE ETHNOGRAPHIC ACORN USE First Prize Graduate Student Paper 62nd Annual Meeting of the Northwest Anthropological Conference Newport, Oregon, 9–11 April 2009 Bethany Mathews ABSTRACT Archaeological and ethnographic studies in North America have recorded the importance of acorns where they were available to many cultures through resource or trade, but they have not generally been considered an important plant resource in the Northwest. Recent archaeological examination of approximately one hundred acorn-leaching pits on Sauvie Island, Oregon suggests otherwise. Comparison of the Oregon white oak range with ethnographic and archaeological information indicates that acorns were consumed in the oak’s range through western Washington, continuing south into the well-documented California acorn cultures. Introduction Test excavations of the National Historic Landmark Site 35-MU-4, the “Sunken Village,” have revealed the remnants of over one hundred pit features constructed by Chinookan people on a muddy slough of the Multnomah Channel on Sauvie Island, Oregon. The “Sunken Village was known by generations of artifact collectors and archaeologists for the basketry and other perishable objects found within the aquifer that has preserved these artifacts and features over hundreds of years. Archaeologists have previously identified the site as an acorn storage or processing facility (Newman-Zehendner 1992), which is a well-represented feature in California archaeology, but nearly absent on the Northwest Coast (cf., Ames et al. 1999:43). The abundant pit features on Sauvie Island are evidence of the use of a plant resource that has likely been underestimated on the Northwest Coast in general, and a reminder of the elaborate trade systems of the Lower Columbia region. 1 126 Pacific Northwest Balanophagy The Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana) inhabits the west coast from northeastern Vancouver Island in British Columbia to Los Angeles, California, extending eastward over the Cascade Mountains along the Columbia River (Peter and Harrington 2002:189). It is the only oak native to British Columbia and Washington, and dominates the oak populations of Oregon (Stein 1990:650-651; Agee 1993:352). In California, however, it is one of many nut-bearing trees (most from the genus Quercus) which populations utilized for generations as a dietary staple. Balanophagy, the “eating of acorns,” is described ethnographically as a unifying characteristic of California cultures (Gifford 1971:301), owing to the abundance of species throughout that region and the development of complex processing and storing techniques. Through living memory, ethnography and archaeology, the process of gathering and preparing acorns is recognized as a vital piece of culture and livelihood for thousands of years in that region. The typical process of preparing acorns in California, as followed by the Yosemite Miwok/Paiute tradition, involves gathering, drying, shelling, winnowing, and pounding the acorns into flour, followed by leaching the acorn flour with water to remove bitter tannins (Ortiz 1991). Though removing the astringent tannic acid is not necessary when eating acorns in small servings, the leaching process sweetens the acorns, and this would be necessary when consuming varieties other than the white oak, as they have significantly higher concentrations of tannic acid. Leached acorn flour was then prepared as cakes, breads, and porridges (Moerman 2002:461). Though southern California leaching methods

  • “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc
    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

  • NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012
    NATIVE PLANT FIELD GUIDE Revised March 2012 Hansen's Northwest Native Plant Database www.nwplants.com Foreword Once upon a time, there was a very kind older gentleman who loved native plants. He lived in the Pacific northwest, so plants from this area were his focus. As a young lad, his grandfather showed him flowers and bushes and trees, the sweet taste of huckleberries and strawberries, the smell of Giant Sequoias, Incense Cedars, Junipers, pines and fir trees. He saw hummingbirds poking Honeysuckles and Columbines. He wandered the woods and discovered trillium. When he grew up, he still loved native plants--they were his passion. He built a garden of natives and then built a nursery so he could grow lots of plants and teach gardeners about them. He knew that alien plants and hybrids did not usually live peacefully with natives. In fact, most of them are fierce enemies, not well behaved, indeed, they crowd out and overtake natives. He wanted to share his information so he built a website. It had a front page, a page of plants on sale, and a page on how to plant natives. But he wanted more, lots more. So he asked for help. I volunteered and he began describing what he wanted his website to do, what it should look like, what it should say. He shared with me his dream of making his website so full of information, so inspiring, so educational that it would be the most important source of native plant lore on the internet, serving the entire world.

  • Where the Water Meets the Land: Between Culture and History in Upper Skagit Aboriginal Territory
    Where the Water Meets the Land: Between Culture and History in Upper Skagit Aboriginal Territory by Molly Sue Malone B.A., Dartmouth College, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2013 © Molly Sue Malone, 2013 Abstract Upper Skagit Indian Tribe are a Coast Salish fishing community in western Washington, USA, who face the challenge of remaining culturally distinct while fitting into the socioeconomic expectations of American society, all while asserting their rights to access their aboriginal territory. This dissertation asks a twofold research question: How do Upper Skagit people interact with and experience the aquatic environment of their aboriginal territory, and how do their experiences with colonization and their cultural practices weave together to form a historical consciousness that orients them to their lands and waters and the wider world? Based on data from three methods of inquiry—interviews, participant observation, and archival research—collected over sixteen months of fieldwork on the Upper Skagit reservation in Sedro-Woolley, WA, I answer this question with an ethnography of the interplay between culture, history, and the land and waterscape that comprise Upper Skagit aboriginal territory. This interplay is the process of historical consciousness, which is neither singular nor sedentary, but rather an understanding of a world in flux made up of both conscious and unconscious thoughts that shape behavior. I conclude that the ways in which Upper Skagit people interact with what I call the waterscape of their aboriginal territory is one of their major distinctive features as a group.

  • Cultural Resources Assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington
    CULTURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FOR THE MOUNT VERNON DOWNTOWN FLOOD PROTECTION PROJECT MOUNT VERNON, SKAGIT COUNTY, WASHINGTON BY MARGARET BERGER AND SUSAN MEDVILLE GLENN D. HARTMANN, PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR PREPARED FOR: PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING PO BOX 1599 EDMONDS, WA 98020 TECHNICAL REPORT #342 CRC PROJECT #0711I CULTURAL RESOURCE CONSULTANTS, INC. 8001 DAY ROAD WEST, SUITE B BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WA 98110 FEBRUARY 28, 2008 Executive Summary This report describes a cultural resources assessment for the Mount Vernon Downtown Flood Protection Project, in Mount Vernon, Skagit County, Washington. This assessment was conducted at the request of the City of Mount Vernon. This report is intended to serve as a component of preconstruction environmental review in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The project consists of modifications to the existing flood protection system. Project plans include raising the existing earthen levee, installing new levee and floodwall segments in some locations, and a new ring dike around the Mount Vernon Wastewater Treatment Plant. To accommodate levee improvements, seven downtown commercial buildings and a residence will be razed. Assessment methods included a review of relevant background literature and maps, archaeological field reconnaissance survey and testing, and a historic building survey. There are no archaeological sites recorded within the project. Archaeological testing conducted using a backhoe revealed thick alluvial deposits overlain, in places, by fill. No indications of buried archaeological sites were observed, and the project is considered to have a low potential to affect as-yet unknown cultural resources. No further archaeological investigations are recommended prior to commencement of the project.
