Plant Lore of an Alaskan Island by Frances Kelso,Frances Kelso Graham Pdf

"Plant Lore of an Alaskan Island" identifies the most common plants in the Kodiak archipelago. It includes edible and medicinal plants, with recipes for preparing for your table plus a special index section of medicinal plants with a brief description of their use. Native uses of these plants are emphasized, making the book somewhat of an ethnobotany.

Color and black and white photos enhance the pages. Take this book on foraging trips or enjoy reading it at home. Though focused on Spruce Island, these plants or a similar species can be found in many Alaskan locations.

Our Way by Julie Cajune Pdf

Indigenous History Is American History Our Way: A Parallel History dispels the myths, stereotypes, and absence of information about American Indian, Native Alaskan, and Native Hawaiian people in the master narrative of US history. For most of American history, stories of the country's Indigenous Peoples were either ignored or told by outsiders. This book corrects these errors, exploring the ways in which Indigenous cultures from every corner of the nation have influenced American society from the past into the present, reminding the reader that they have both shaped the US and continue to play a vital role in its story. Significantly, Our Way: A Parallel History is a collaboration of Native scholars representing more than ten Indigenous nations, sharing their histories and their cultures. Each contributor, either an affiliate of an institution of higher education or a prominent Native leader, provides the reader with an inside account of tribal culture and heritage. The result is a comprehensive resource restoring the histories of Indigenous Peoples and their nations to their rightful place in the story of America. The book covers topics such as: -The Doctrine of Discovery -Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act -US American Indian Policy and Civil rights -Blood Quantum -Selling Hawaii -Lots More As Julie Cajune (Salish) notes in the preface, "I believe this collection of history, story, and reflection provokes and invites us to think and feel deeply about what it means for all of us to be human in our communities, nations, and beyond. After all, that is what a good story does.

Naut'staarpet-Our Plants by Priscilla N. Russell Pdf

Priscilla Russell worked with Elders to record information on plant harvesting, processing, and use, as well as their Alutiiq plant names, at a time when few others were collecting such information and when Alutiiq people were leery of sharing cultural information for fear of bigotry. Because Russell made the effort to visit Alutiiq communities and spend time with people, she was able to speak to many harvesters and document their knowledge extensively. The Elders Russell spoke with were born in the early decades of twentieth century, at a time when subsistence foods were the bulk of people's diets and before groceries could be dependably purchased in remote communities. Therefore, the knowledge in this book reaches back to an older era when it was commonplace for people to use wild plants for food, tools, fuel, and medicine.
