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.

  • Common Camas (Camassia Quamash Ssp. Breviflora) Plant Guide
    Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Guide COMMON CAMAS Camassia quamash (Pursh) Greene ssp. breviflora Gould Plant Symbol = CAQUB2 Common Names: small camas, blue camas Scientific Names: Camassia quamash (Pursh) Greene var. breviflora (Gould) C.L. Hitchc. Warning: Death camas (Zigadenus venenosus) can be confused with edible camas bulbs and is toxic. Be sure of your identification of camas bulbs before eating them! Description General: Lily Family (Liliaceae). Common camas is a stout, robust plant 12-28 inches (30-70 cm) tall with a dense inflorescence. It is a perennial herb that grows from an edible bulb. The leaves are long and narrow, grass-like, and emerge from the base. Common camas flowers are light to deep blue; more than three flowers in an inflorescence may be open at one time. Camas flowers have six tepals, six stamens, and three stigmas. The inflorescence is a spike- like cluster borne on a leafless stem that is held above the leaves. Common camas is distinguished from great camas (Camassia Photo by Kathy Pendergrass, Oregon NRCS, 2007. leichtlinii ssp.suksdorfii) by the following: the flowers are slightly irregular, with the lowest tepal curving outward away from the stem; the anthers are bright yellow; the plant is relatively short and stout, with shorter flower stalks and smaller bulbs; and there is no waxy powder on the leaves. Common camas blooms from April through June. The fruits are barrel-shaped to three-angled capsules, splitting into three parts to release many black, angled seeds. Distribution: Camassia quamash ssp. breviflora is found in the West from British Columbia through Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and California at elevations below 8000 ft (2500 m).

  • Bannock War at Camas Prairie
    IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES BANNOCK WAR AT CAMAS PRAIRIE Number 474 1969 Along the highway between Mountain Home and Fairfield are areas where it does not take much imagination to believe that Indians are skulking behind rocks to pounce on travelers. Camas Prairie and its adjacent hills are, indeed, Indian country of historic significance. The Bannock War of 1878 began there, and it was from a camp in the forbidding lavas a few miles away that Buffalo Horn led his war party on a campaign that lasted several months, killed at least forty soldiers and civilians, spread terror in several states, and cost the government half a million dollars. The Nez Perce War of 1877, fought mostly in northern Idaho and Montana, was a longer and more expensive episode in lives and property. But in the southern area the Bannock uproar was number one. Facts about the outbreak of the Bannock War are scarcely red-hot news today, having been related and rehashed for more than ninety years. There were running accounts of the war in The Statesman of 1878. Selected portions of those articles, plus other pertinent information, are contained in a book, The Bannock Indian War of 1878, by George F. Brimlow. Causes of the war were rooted in many factors. The immediate spark was the rooting of hogs on the prairie. Indians objected strenuously to running of pigs by settlers on the fields where Indians had for years dug camas as a staple of their diet. It was cattle ranchers, however, that suffered the first blow.
