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

[Adamson, Nancy - NRCS, Greensboro, NC]

Hi Eric,

I assume it was Kit Anderson who put together the plant guides on PLANTS that include refs.
https://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=CAQUB2  click on the pdf or doc fact sheet to find refs
https://plants.usda.gov/plantguide/pdf/cs_caquq.pdf  click on the pdf or doc fact sheet to find refs

Nancy Turner at U of Victoria has done work on the role of native peoples maintaining populations of Camassia, as well as bears helping to keep the populations healthy with their harvesting.  She is one of the authors of the attached.  I didn’t think to look in the ref list, but am guessing you have this at hand.  If not, I can take a look and copy what might be relevant.  She’s one of the authors referenced in the PLANTS fact sheets, as well. http://www.uvic.ca/socialsciences/environmental/people/faculty/turnernancy.php

Subject: [PCA] Camassia-human co-evolution in the Maritime Northwest?

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
