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

[Riibe, Lindsey]

Hi Eric

Here are links to two graduate research work on camas ethnoecology.  I'm
not sure that they exactly answer your question in particular, but they
should provide a thorough list of references as part of the work.

MSc Thesis Kate Proctor - https://dspace.library.uvic.
ca:8443/handle/1828/4885
PhD Brenda Beckwith - https://dspace.library.uvic.ca:8443/handle/1828/632

I'm friend's with Kate, and can directly connect the two of you if that
might be of help.

If you want more general references on human dependent ecosystems these
books are a great place to start:

"Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of
California's Natural Resources" - M. Kat Anderson

"Keeping it Living, Traditions of Plant Use and Cultivation on the
Northwest Coast of North America - Doug Deur and Nancy Turner

All the best.
