It is the result of a collaborative, diligent effort put forth by many individuals. The authors would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Tom Greider, SAIC, Las Vegas, for his tireless assistance in helping to coordinate and arrange the American Indian on -site visits, providing essential field equipment, preparing route maps, and offering valuable comments on the interim reports.Various individuals at SAIC, too numerous to mention here by name, served as support staff and are also gratefully acknowledged for their help in coordinating the past year's efforts. Several social and biological scientists made valuable contributions to this study. We would particularly like to thank Dr. Lonnie Pippinand Cari Lockett of the Desert Research Institute in Reno, Nevada, for selecting archaeological sites for visitation by Native American participants and their comments on the first interim cultural resources report. Dr. Tom O'Farrell, Betsy Collins, and Cathy Wills of EG &G Energy Measurements,Goleta,California,assistedinsiteselectionand coordinating the ethnobotany on -site visits. Betsy and Cathy also served as field escorts and photographers during theearly portion of the ethnobotanical field work. Angela Colarusso and Steve Woolfolk of SAIC also served as on -site escorts throughout the study. The efforts of all of these individuals in making the Native American on -site visits a success are greatly appreciated. A special thanks must go to Dr. Wesley E. Niles and Joan T. O'Farrell, of the University of Nevada -Las Vegas, for their assistance during the ethnobotanical field work, collecting voucher specimens, providing scientific identification of Native American plants, and making significant written contributions to the interim ethnobotany report. Their participation in the ethnobotany study was invaluable to its success. For their expert advice, comments, criticisms and suggestions throughout the course of the study, we are most grateful to Dr. Richard I. Ford of the University of Michigan; Dr. Florence C. Shipek, San Diego, California; and Dr. Henry F. Dobyns, Edmond, Oklahoma. At the Institute for Social Research, special thanks must be given to Susan Clemmer for her help in typing and editing various versions of the present report. We are grateful, also, for her help in past report production. Most importantly, this report could not have been written without the participation of the many Native American people who took time out from their busy schedules and traveled many miles to attend meetings and share their knowledge about traditional life and resources with us during the on -site visits. We thank the chairpersons and Official Tribal Contact Representatives of each of the 16 involved tribes for all of their efforts throughout the project. To all of these Indian people, the authors would like to express their deepest appreciation and gratitude. Despite the appearance of the four author's names at the front of this report, the vast majority of data inside has come directly from the Native American participants (See Appendix D). To a very real extent, therefore, this is their report. SPECIAL RECOGNITION Special recognition needs to be accorded to Dan Bulletts, a study team member who has participated in more than a dozen American Indian cultural resource studies over the past decade. Dan is a Southern Paiute person who has observed much in his 86 years. He has been a sheep herder, cowboy, cat -skinner, farmer, Indian doctor, religious leader and, during the past decade, the spiritual and intellectual core of our study team. Because of Dan, more than a dozen tribal governments and hundreds of Indian people have trusted our team to represent their cultural concerns. Dan translates the complex legal and technical aspects of projects into terms that are meaningful from an Indian perspective. During field work, Dan talks with elders in their own language, facilitating recall and providing them with a culturally appropriate atmosphere for identifying and interpreting cultural resources. Teaching in a traditional Indian style, Dan quietly explains both our failures and our successes in cross -cultural communication; then, he provides guidance forimproving our research methods. Because of Dan, there are more completefindings and more complete interpretations associated with the Yucca Mountain American Indian study. vi Photo 1. Dan Bulletts, Canyon Lands, Utah, 1989 Photo 2.

  • Oasis America, Mesoamerica Y Aridoamerica
    OASISAMERICA, MESOAMERICA Y ARIDOAMERICA En el transcurso de los siglos, las prácticas culturales y las condiciones del medio ambiente propiciaron en algunas zonas el desarrollo de la agricultura como fuente principal de subsistencia y con ello, se definieron alrededor de 2500 a.C. dos grandes áreas o superáreas culturales: Aridoamérica y Mesoamérica. En el primer espacio la fuente principal de vida siguió siendo la caza y recolección, mientras que en Mesoamérica la vida se hizo sedentaria con base en la agricultura. Con el paso del tiempo, alrededor de 500 a.C., por la mejora de las técnicas de cultivo y de riego y el intercambio cultural parte de Aridoamérica (Suroeste de los E.U. y el Noroeste de México) fue ocupada por pueblos sedentarios. Esta región con cultura mixta se le conoce como Oasisamérica. Fue el antropólogo Paul Kirchhoff quien conceptualizó en 1943 estas tres grandes áreas geográficas-culturales: Aridoamérica, Oasisamérica y Mesoamérica. Queremos destacar que se trata de conceptos y que estas áreas no eran inmutables, sino en constante transformación de acuerdo con el desarrollo de las sociedades. Oasisamérica En algunas regiones semiáridas, haciendo uso de algunos ríos como el Gila y el Asunción en Arizona, los pobladores no quedaron en el nivel del nomadismo gracias a la adopción de nuevas técnicas e instrumentos de trabajo y el intercambio con las culturas mesoamericanas. Así, dentro de Aridoamérica se empezó a distinguir, alrededor de 500 a.C., un área cultural que se conoce como Oasisamérica. Se ubica en parte de los territorios actuales de Arizona, Nuevo México y California en los E.U.

The wild tomatillo, Physalis longifolia Nutt., and related species have been important wild-harvested foods and medicinal plants. This paper reviews their traditional use as food and medicine; it also discusses taxonomic difficulties and provides information on recent medicinal chemistry discoveries within this and related species. Subtle morphological differences recognized by taxonomists to distinguish this species from closely related taxa can be confusing to botanists and ethnobotanists, and many of these differences are not considered to be important by indigenous people. Therefore, the food and medicinal uses reported here include information for P. longifolia, as well as uses for several related taxa found north of Mexico. The importance of wild Physalis species as food is reported by many tribes, and its long history of use is evidenced by frequent discovery in archaeological sites. These plants may have been cultivated, or “tended,” by Pueblo farmers and other tribes. The importance of this plant as medicine is made evident through its historical ethnobotanical use, information in recent literature on Physalis species pharmacology, and our Native Medicinal Plant Research Program’s recent discovery of 14 new natural products, some of which have potent anti-cancer activity.

B.C. (calibrated calendrical years before the Christian era) and document the processes by which it was integrated into local foraging economies. Here we review archaeological, paleoecological, linguistic, and genetic data to evaluate the hypothesis that Proto-Uto-Aztecan (PUA) farmers migrating from a homeland in Mesoamerica intro- duced maize agriculture to the region. We conclude that this hypothesis is untenable and that the available data indicate instead a Great Basin homeland for the PUA, the breakup of this speech community into northern and southern divisions Ϸ6900 cal.

  • Four Directions Medicine Wheel Envisioned for Us by a Female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation
    The Medicine Wheel at the First Nations University of Canada is the Four Directions Medicine Wheel envisioned for us by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation. This is but one Medicine Wheel, and since there are many Medicine Wheels, some people may see the wheel differently. For example, there are age Medicine Wheels, tribal Medicine Wheels, wheels for the four sacred plants (cedar, sage, tobacco and sweetgrass), the four seasons, the four aspects of the self (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), and personal Medicine Wheels. These wheels each have different colours, placements and meanings. The Four Directions Medicine Wheel as shared by a female Elder from the Anishnabe Nation “The Medicine Wheel was placed on Turtle Island by people thousands of years ago. For this Medicine Wheel, I want to honour one of the oldest things we have, which is our four directions. We seek knowledge from those four directions. We get power from those four directions. They pull stuff into our lives. When we call out to them in prayer, they will bring things to us. The four directions came with creation. We didn’t. We were the last thing created. And this is a garden, it’s coming from mother earth, so that’s where the four directions are coming from. When I look at a Four Directions Medicine Wheel, I see yellow in the east, blue in the south, red in the west, white in the north. The sun rises yellow in the east. It’s always going to rise in the east, and it’s always going to set in the west.

  • Semiarid Ethnoagroforestry Management: Tajos in the Sierra Gorda, Guanajuato, Mexico Vincent M
    Hoogesteger van Dijk et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:34 DOI 10.1186/s13002-017-0162-y RESEARCH Open Access Semiarid ethnoagroforestry management: Tajos in the Sierra Gorda, Guanajuato, Mexico Vincent M. Hoogesteger van Dijk1, Alejandro Casas1 and Ana Isabel Moreno-Calles2* Abstract Background: The semi-arid environments harbor nearly 40% of biodiversity, and half of indigenous cultures of Mexico. Thousands of communities settled in these areas depend on agriculture and using wild biodiversity for their subsistence. Water, soil, and biodiversity management strategies are therefore crucial for people’s life. The tajos, from Sierra Gorda, are important, poorly studied, biocultural systems established in narrow, arid alluvial valleys. The systems are constructed with stone-walls for capturing sediments, gradually creating fertile soils in terraces suitable for agriculture in places where it would not be possible. We analyzed biocultural, ecological, economic and technological relevance of the artificial oasis-like tajos, hypothesizing their high capacity for maintaining agricultural and wild biodiversity while providing resources to people. Methods: We conducted our research in three sections of the Mezquital-Xichú River, in three communities of Guanajuato, Mexico. Agroforestry management practices were documented through semi-structured and in-depth qualitative interviews. Vegetation composition of local forests and that maintained in tajos was sampled and compared. Results: Tajos harbor high agrobiodiversity, including native varieties of maize and beans, seven secondary crops, 47 native and 25 introduced perennial plant species. Perennial plants cover on average 26.8% of the total surface of plots. Tajos provide nearly 70% of the products required by households’ subsistence and are part of their cultural identity.

  • Native Americans in the Cape Fear, by Dr. Jan Davidson
    Native Americans in the Cape Fear, By Dr. Jan Davidson Archaeologists believe that Native Americans have lived in what is now the state of North Carolina for more than 13,000 years. These first inhabitants, now called Paleo-Indians by experts, were likely descended from people who came over a then-existing land bridge from Asia.1 Evidence had been found at Town Creek Mound that suggests Indians lived there as early as 11000 B.C.E. Work at another major North Carolinian Paleo-Indian where Indian artifacts have been found in layers of the soil, puts Native Americans on that land before 8000 B.C.E. That site, in North Carolina’s Uwharrie Mountains, near Badin, became an important source of stone that Paleo and Archaic period Indians made into tools such as spears.2 It is harder to know when the first people arrived in the lower Cape Fear. The coastal archaeological record is not as rich as it is in some other regions. In the Paleo-Indian period around 12000 B.C.E., the coast was about 60 miles further out to sea than it is today. So land where Indians might have lived is buried under water. Furthermore, the coastal Cape Fear region’s sandy soils don’t provide a lot of stone for making tools, and stone implements are one of the major ways that archeologists have to trace and track where and when Indians lived before 2000 B.C.E.3 These challenges may help explain why no one has yet found any definitive evidence that Indians were in New Hanover County before 8000 B.C.E.4 We may never know if there were indigenous people here before the Archaic period began in approximately 8000 B.C.E.
