Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum) But who is Joe Pye? It seems to be the anglophone name of a very interesting Mohican, Joseph Shauquethqueat, living at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Massachusetts and New York. Not clear he had anything to do with the plant, maybe only by association. A scholarly article about botany, history and First Nations, with Latin names and a critical eye. Perfect 🤓 https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/p/pod/dod-idx/joe-pye-joe-pyes-law-and-joe-pye-weed-the-history.pdf?c=mbot;idno=0497763.0056.303;format=pdf #flowers #bloomscrolling #nativeplants #wildflowers #botany #history #firstnations #photography

#FirstNations #Ontario #canada Scientists have long predicted higher temperatures and long-term disrupted weather patterns in general. They predicted this since the 1970s. The cause of this climate change is the production and burning of fossil fuels, thus loading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat, preventing it from radiating out into space, and cause the temperature increases of which Harris speaks https://archive.ph/DjvlX#selection-4949.0-4955.423 #ClimateChange

The “#ForestGardens” That Could Help #Canada’s #FirstNations Reclaim Their Land For 3,000 years, the Sts’ailes Nation cultivated and nurtured plants for survival. Now researchers’ work about those forest gardens is being used to support a legal land claim by Canada’s Sts’ailes Nation against the province of British Columbia. by Worldcrunch May 22, 2024 Excerpt: "The people of the Sts’ailes Nation have lived for 3,000 years on the banks of the Harrison River in #BritishColumbia, its icy blue waters framed by mountains and fir trees. Evidence of their long presence on this land is visible in the remaining crabapple and nut trees that were once part of the nation’s forest gardens. What’s left today are some gnarled trees and overgrown bushes hidden among other old forest growth of pines and spruce. But these gardens were once full of plants carefully selected and nurtured to provide an important means of subsistence. Forest gardens were a method of agriculture in which practitioners cleared the land around or near villages, planted crops, and managed with agricultural methods like controlled burns and fertilization to increase the productivity of the plants. Traces of species like #PacificCrabapple, #BeakedHazelnut, #WildCherry, and others have been found in recent years — in some cases, still growing even more than a century after they were tended. They would have been selected for their nutritional value and, in some examples like the crabapple, long-term storage. For anthropologists, ethnologists, and other scientists, the existence of these gardens belies the long-held hunter-gatherer theory that maintained that the region’s #IndigenousPeoples didn’t change and nurture their lands. Instead, experts now believe this method of #agriculture and land manipulation helped communities like the Sts’ailes thrive. The traditional Sts’ailes territory of roughly 802,150 acres (324,620 hectares) — their current reserve is about 2,260 acres — was able to sustain its inhabitants through both good and difficult times because of its rich resources and the deep connection the community had to the land, said Kelsey Charlie Sr., who sits on the Sts’ailes Council, and whose traditional name is Teixweltel. The word lhemeqwatel, he said, 'means that you can get anything off of it, that it’s going to provide everything for you. And that includes those forest gardens and other cultivated things that they used for survival.' Legal land claim The land that was home to the Sts’ailes Nation is just one area where there is evidence that forest gardens were created and nurtured by communities of #FirstNations, the collective name given to most of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. While there is not a definitive catalog of the forest gardens, there are remains of them up and down the coast of British Columbia — some known, some still used by communities, some being rediscovered."

This #FirstNations horticulturist Indigenizes plant spaces in B.C. #ShaylaChalifoux sub-consults for landscape architects on incorporating #NativePlants Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2025 Excerpt: "According to the province of B.C., plant biodiversity in #BritishColumbia is unmatched in Canada, with at least 2,500 native vascular plant species, in addition to thousands of lichens, mosses and fungi. "Individuals can help support the land by planting native plants in pots on their balconies and gardens, said Chalifoux. " 'Why would you plant a native plant here? Because host nations have a relationship with that, or this specific plant is a host plant for a larva, a native butterfly, that needs to eat only this plant to survive,' said Chalifoux. " 'The land is hurting. One way we can help the land is by incorporating native plants.' "Chalifoux said though things are changing, not many municipalities have policies to ensure a percentage of native plants are included in city landscaping. "#CBCIndigenous asked the City of #Vancouver if it had any policies around the number of native plants required to be planted in urban planning. "A City of Vancouver spokesperson said in a statement that the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is working to increase native plants in #UrbanSpaces and considers a number of factors in planning, including maintenance, resilience, and canopy cover, and consults with local #FirstNations. "A prime example of this is the addition of #PacificYew to the Stanley Park Restoration initiative, upon receiving feedback from local First Nations," said the statement. "The city said it has also provided native plants for #EcologicalRestoration in Vancouver parks to non-profits and community groups that hold community planting events."

#FirstNations #Palestine “The devastation in Gaza is not only genocide but also ecocide,” Hamza Hamouchene writes, an action that he defines as “the deliberate destruction of an entire social and ecological fabric.” In this view, settler-colonial violence inevitably results in environmental harm; thus, Hamouchene argues that the movement for climate justice must be linked to the liberation of Palestine, and I would add the freedom of all Indigenous people. https://www.palestinechronicle.com/on-the-impact-of-climate-change-on-indigenous-in-palestine-and-around-the-globe/ #climate
