The area is well-known, largely because of the Joseph Canyon Viewpoint, a highway pullout 30 miles north of Enterprise that overlooks the 2,000-foot depths of Joseph Canyon and is one of 38 sites that form the Nez Perce National Historical Park (http://www.nps.gov/nepe/index.htm). The Joseph Canyon Roadless Area is comprised of three main drainages: Swamp, Davis and Joseph Creeks. Joseph and Swamp Creeks are designated wild and scenic rivers within the roadless area and the Joseph Canyon Creek system is home to a large population of native Snake River steelhead, listed as threatened under ESA in August 1998. The area is renowned for wildlife and harbors old growth Ponderosa Pine woodlands. Joseph Canyon includes the historic Chico Trail and has significant historical value that embraces all of the major peoples that have shaped the region; the Nez Perce Indians; pioneers and settlers, the Forest Service, and backcountry hunters and hikers. The trails have been used since time immemorial. The proposed Joseph Canyon Wilderness area adjoins the Nez Perce Precious Lands Wildlife Area to the north (http://www.nezperce.org/Wolf/Exec_Summary.pdf). The Precious Lands are 15,000 acres of contiguous “roadless” lands including portions of Joseph Canyon and also adjoin to BLM and State lands to the north.

    Nez Perce National Historical Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Big Hole National Battlefield Partners and Friends Teaching Children To Take Care of Their Past Rowena Harrington, Museum Tech at Nez Perce National Historical Park reports on her experiences working with children on a new exhibit. As a museum technician for Nez Perce National Historical Park and an American Indian, I've expressed grief that there just aren't enough American Indians in the museum field. A big question for me is why should American Indians be interested in working in a field that for many years exploited their ancestors? How could a museum attract American Indians into the field? In order to try to solve the problem and perhaps answer my own question I started a project to develop a new exhibit, created by children. I imagined a small exhibit case, enclosing a diorama portraying a day in the life of a Cecelia Alvarez (left, in white smock) and Sean Alvarez (right) help Nez Perce National Historical Park Nez Perce woman.

    "The Queen Root of This Clime": Ethnoecological Investigations of Blue Camas (Camassia leichtlinii (Baker) Wats., C. quamash (Pursh) Greene; Liliaceae) and its Landscapes on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia Brenda Raye Beckwith B.A., Sacramento State University, Sacramento, 1989 M.Sc., Sacramento State University, Sacramento, 1995 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Biology We accept this dissertation as conforming to the required standard O Brenda Raye Beckwith, 2004 University of Victoria All right reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. Co-Supervisors: Drs. Nancy J. Turner and Patrick von Aderkas ABSTRACT Bulbs of camas (Camassia leichtlinii and C. quamash; Liliacaeae) were an important native root vegetable in the economies of Straits Salish peoples. Intensive management not only maintained the ecological productivity of &us valued resource but shaped the oak-camas parklands of southern Vancouver Island. Based on these concepts, I tested two hypotheses: Straits Salish management activities maintained sustainable yields of camas bulbs, and their interactions with this root resource created an extensive cultural landscape. I integrated contextual information on the social and environmental histories of the pre- and post-European contact landscape, qualitative records that reviewed Indigenous camas use and management, and quantitative data focused on applied ecological experiments. I described how the cultural landscape of southern Vancouver Island changed over time, especially since European colonization of southern Vancouver Island. Prior to European contact, extended families of local Straits Salish peoples had a complex system of root food production; inherited camas harvesting grounds were maintained within this region.
