Book Synopsis The Botanical Lore of the California Indians by : John Bruno Romero
Download or read book The Botanical Lore of the California Indians written by John Bruno Romero and published by VANTAGE PRESS, INC. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the books written concerning the Indians of North America, I don’t know of one which treats of the Indians’ great knowledge of medicine, the vast store which was theirs of plants and herbs which possessed curative and healing qualities, many of them far superior, even today, to the medicine used by the white physician. There is a reason. In some instances the white man did not get the correct information from his Indian brother due to the latter’s inability to make himself understood—this was, of course, also true of the former. Again, some information given was intentionally wrong due to the ill-feeling the Indian had for the white man. And again, many of those healing plants were held in such veneration by the Indians, that to impart their virtues to a white man was an unpardonable crime, and the punishment meted out to the offender was of the severest form. I am an Indian, proud of it and of my forefathers, whose bitterness toward the white man was only too well justified. But time changes all things and bitterness and hatred never made for understanding nor happiness. In this spirit I wrote this book, in the spirit of doing good. And in this I have the help and permission of my dear uncle, Chief Pablo, of the Mahuna tribe of Indians of Southern California, who permitted me to describe certain plants whose curative properties have been kept a secret by the Indians for over one hundred years. This is the first time they are made known. The Indian, living close to and with nature—the greatest teacher of all for those who have eyes to see—became nature’s most intelligent pupil. Gifted with the keenest observation and the ability to reason, he searched the discovered plants which nature herself had provided for any ailment, sickness, or mishap which might befall him. I am sending this book out into the world not for fame, but as a messenger of goodwill and peace. May it be received in this spirit and accomplish its mission.

Book Synopsis Tending the Wild by : M. Kat Anderson
Download or read book Tending the Wild written by M. Kat Anderson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Muir was an early proponent of a view we still hold today—that much of California was pristine, untouched wilderness before the arrival of Europeans. But as this groundbreaking book demonstrates, what Muir was really seeing when he admired the grand vistas of Yosemite and the gold and purple flowers carpeting the Central Valley were the fertile gardens of the Sierra Miwok and Valley Yokuts Indians, modified and made productive by centuries of harvesting, tilling, sowing, pruning, and burning. Marvelously detailed and beautifully written, Tending the Wild is an unparalleled examination of Native American knowledge and uses of California's natural resources that reshapes our understanding of native cultures and shows how we might begin to use their knowledge in our own conservation efforts. M. Kat Anderson presents a wealth of information on native land management practices gleaned in part from interviews and correspondence with Native Americans who recall what their grandparents told them about how and when areas were burned, which plants were eaten and which were used for basketry, and how plants were tended. The complex picture that emerges from this and other historical source material dispels the hunter-gatherer stereotype long perpetuated in anthropological and historical literature. We come to see California's indigenous people as active agents of environmental change and stewardship. Tending the Wild persuasively argues that this traditional ecological knowledge is essential if we are to successfully meet the challenge of living sustainably.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... PLANTS USED BY THE INDIANS OF MENDOCINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. INTRODUCTION. While in California during the summers of 1897 and 1898, and incidentally in the summer and winter of 1892, the writer had opportunity to make some inquiry into the native uses of plants in the Round Valley Indian Reservation, and in July, 1897, similar inquiries were made at Ukiah. Both of these places are in Mendocino County, which stretches as a band 60 miles broad for 84 miles along the coast, about midway between San Francisco and the northern border of the State. The floras of these two regions, although they are only 42 miles apart, differ considerably, and both vary a little from that of the redwood belt of the immediate coast line, about 40 miles distant. This third belt was not visited by the writer; but inasmuch as there are few, if any, Indian tribes in the county which are not represented in the reservations or at Ukiah, and since, moreover, many of these visit the coast occasionally, this report may betaken to be fairly representative for the county. At as late a date as 1849, Round Valley, which is near the northern end of the county and about 200 miles north of San Francisco, was unknown to white men, being then inhabited by a peculiar tribe of very uncommunicative and warlike people, the Yuki, and it was not until 1856 that white people began to settle there. The Yokia and Pomo Indians, who lived in the immediate vicinityof the now flourishing town of Ukiah, were well known at a much earlier date; but it has been since 1880 only that the California Northwestern Railway was extended to the town, which is still the terminus of the road. Connection with Round Valley, which by the compass is 42 miles north of Ukiah, is made by stage over a very...
