[MPWG] ​Camassia-human co-evolution in the Maritime Northwest?

[Michael Laurie]

Eric,

 

You might check out the book “Keeping It Simple: Traditions of Plant Use and Cultivation on the Northwest Coast ” edited by Douglas Deur and Nancy J. Turner

 

I have just started reading it but it has a lot of information with an extensive bibliography and citations to research and the writings of early explorers 

on the many ways NW natives cultivated the landscape to manage for a variety of plants including about 15 references to practices related to Camassia.

Hi folks,

Can anyone point me to literature dealing specifically with the hypothesis that Camassia species in the Maritime Northwest are largely human-dependent? 

There's countless casual comments to this effect in popular discourse, but is there any actual research dealing with this question? In an initial literature search I'm not finding anything. Maybe one of you listserv members with a background in ethobotany can point me in the right direction? 

Thanks!

-Eric
