Book Synopsis Chumash Ethnobotany by : Janice Timbrook
Download or read book Chumash Ethnobotany written by Janice Timbrook and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chumash people have lived for thousands of years in coastal California from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara, a homeland of uncommon biological richness and diversity. This thoroughly-researched book, in documenting some 175 of the plant species important to Chumash culture, offers a glimpse of life in southern California from pre-European contact through historic times. The 2023 edition adds a new Preface to address topics not explicitly discussed in the original text: plant management techniques that the Chumash employed and their ecological effects; organization of plant knowledge through classification systems and naming; and patterns of usage - which plant families predominated in providing particular necessities of life. The Introduction includes a brief history of the Chumash and explains the purpose of the book, how it is organized, sources, and acknowledgements. The body of the book is a Plant Catalog, organized alphabetically by scientific botanical name and including each plant's common name in English, California Spanish, and as many as six Chumashan languages. Each entry describes in detail not just how the plant was utilized but also its other roles in Chumash life and thought. Following the main text are a Bibliography, an alphabetical listing of Chumash plant-related names and words with their corresponding scientific name and English common name, and an extensive Index. Chumash Ethnobotany draws primarily upon the voluminous and richly detailed field notes and plant collections of John P. Harrington (1884-1961), who interviewed ten Chumash consultants over a period of 50 years (1911-1961). Harrington's Chumash materials comprise some 300,000 handwritten pages and over 450 plant specimens. Information was also incorporated from a wide variety of other sources: ethnographic accounts and modern Chumash consultants; archaeological reports; historical accounts by explorers, missionaries, and settlers; letters, botanical research articles, and floras. Documentation is also provided from neighboring tribes who use or used the same or related species in a similar fashion The book is intended to reach a broad audience, making the information accessible to both interested laypersons and scholars. It is illustrated with Chris Chapman's watercolor botanical portraits and Timbrook's own woodcut-like interpretations of scenes from Chumash life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, Native Americans have called North America home. They built great cities, communities, and cultures in the continents hills, valleys, deserts, and forests. However, for many, with the arrival of Europeans, traditional ways of life were challenged and sometimes eradicated entirely. As was the case with many Native tribes living on the West Coast, the Chumash were eventually influenced by the California missions and Catholic priests that populated the region from the 1700s onward. This is the story of how they persisted, despite hardship, and what life for Chumash members is like today.
Book Synopsis Chumash Renaissance by : Paul H. Gelles
Download or read book Chumash Renaissance written by Paul H. Gelles and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] highly compelling documentation of the cultural, educational, and economic revitalization of our tribe... 'Chumash Renaissance' is very valuable in that it helps clear up a lot of the misinformation about the Chumash. We're very happy to support this important book." Vincent Armenta, Tribal Chairman, Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians "A rich, informative text highlighting Chumash ingenuity in rebuilding a long-oppressed culture." Kirkus Reviews "Chumash Renaissance is a landmark book. Exactly the opposite of the received wisdom about corrupting casino cash, it helps us to see California, Native America, and the casino revolution in a whole new way." Orin Starn, Professor of Anthropology at Duke University and author of Ishi's Brain: In Search of America's Last "Wild" Indian "Great introduction to the subject of Native American casinos and the indigenous empowerment that has resulted. Very well suited for the general public and undergraduate classes." Zoila S. Mendoza, Professor of Native American Studies, University of California at Davis "Gelles recounts an amazing history of cultural loss and educational marginalization that underscores the significance of the tribe's recent achievements. Chumash Renaissance is unique in the literature from the last twenty-five years of tribal government gaming. This new book will be of interest to tribal leaders and communities, state and federal policy makers, college and high school teachers for their classes, and to a general public interested in learning about the effects of casinos on tribal peoples and their surrounding communities." Katherine Spilde, Endowed Chair of the Sycuan Institute of Tribal Gaming at San Diego State University "Of great importance to libraries, scholars, students, and general public. An excellent work" Clifford Trafzer, Professor of History, Rupert Costo Chair, and Director of the California Center for Native Nations. Indian casinos are extraordinarily controversial. They have brought great wealth to previously impoverished tribes, but they also generate opposition. What effects do casinos really have on indigenous people? How do they really affect the larger community? Chumash Renaissance answers these questions for one California tribe, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. Paul H. Gelles examines how successive waves of colonization have impacted Chumash identity and cultural politics in the Santa Ynez Valley today. Exposing the stereotypes and false assumptions made about the tribe, he shows how the Chumash are overcoming cultural suppression and educational marginalization, how culture and education are interwoven in complex ways, and how the tribe has gained power over its cultural patrimony and heritage. Informative and illuminating, Chumash Renaissance provides an on-the-ground look at Chumash cultural renaissance, the opposition faced by the tribe, and the deeper historical currents and changing cultural politics of rural California today.
