Of Physalis Longifolia in the U.S

TIMMERMANN 2Kansas Biological Survey, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA 3Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO, USA 4Department of Surgery, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS, USA 5Department of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] The Ethnobotany and Ethnopharmacology of Wild Tomatillos, Physalis longifolia Nutt., and Related Physalis Species: A Review. 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. -

8.0 Fishing and Water Use
SECTION 8.0 FISHING AND WATER USE 8.0 Fishing and Water Use Fishing has always been part of the Fort McKay Métis livelihood. Many books, reports and assessments have described the importance of the traditional fishery to people of Fort McKay (FMSD 2015, FMSD 2013, Stanislawski 1998, FMFN 1994, FMTA 1983). In 1983, the FMTA said, “We emphasize the main rivers, and particularly the Athabasca, because in the early years since our contact with non-Indians, these rivers served as transportation or penetration routes through our territory. The rivers and many creeks within our hunting and trapping territory are important to emphasize because our people’s land use roughly corresponds to the watershed boundaries and the drainage areas contained within them. These we view as natural boundaries and serve as points of reference.” (FMTA 1983, p. 72) Key fishing areas in the vicinity of Fort McKay included the Athabasca River corridor, Firebag River drainage and the Namur Lakes area (Stanislawski 1998). The Muskeg River Basin is also ecologically and culturally important to Fort McKay Métis people (FMSD 2015; MMSC WS2 2015). Some of the waterways traditionally used by Fort McKay First Nation and Métis community members have been mapped and described in several key reports (FMFN 1994; Stanislawski 1998; FMSD 2013). These waterways, and the key watersheds they are associated with, are shown on Map 5. As far as the Métis community's concerned, Métis communities stuck to the rivers. For the most part, they used the river systems as a way to get around. That was their life. -
COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD 102 Columbine Building 1845 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203
/ COLORADO WATER CONSERVATION BOARD 102 Columbine Building 1845 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 M E M O R A N D U M SUBJECT: Status of Flood Plain Information Program in Colorado June 1974 Increasing recognition of the importance of Colorado's flood plains is occurring. Colorado Revised Statutes 1963, as amended, Section 149-1-11(4), authorizes the Colorado Water Conservation Board to designate and approve storm or flood water runoff channels and to make such designations available to legis lative bodies of local jurisdictions. In addition to assisting local governmental entities in obtaining basic flood plain data, the Board is actively engaged in assisting local governments in developing and adopting effective flood plain ordinances and related land use regulations. The Board has the responsibility of coordinating all flood related studies within the state of Colorado, which includes scheduling the Flood Plain Information Studies conducted by federal agencies, and can provide direct financial assistance for a study within Colorado. The intent is that, with these data outlining the flood plains, local entities can control the use of these flood plains and thereby prevent developments within the paths of future floods. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, have specific authorities for the preparation of detailed flood plain reports. House Bill 1041, relating to the use of land, (Article 7, Chapter 106, CRS 1963, as amended) provides, "Flood plains shall be administered so as to minimize significant hazards to public health and safety or to property. Open space activities shall be encouraged in the floodplains." Concerning the designation and use of flood plains, the Board is charged with responsibilities under the Act as follows: 1. -
