How did plains Indians get tobacco?
None of the Plains tribes grew any kind of crops, since they lived nomadic lifestyles and were never in the same place long enough. Tobacco for smoking was either obtained through trade, either direct from white traders or through other tribes who got it from the whites, or they used native "tobacco" consisting mainly of red willow bark mixed with other local dried plants.In fact, some Virginia tobacco was reaching the Plains tribes before the first white people arrived on the Plains, via other native tribes.The native "tobacco" was (and still is) usually known as "kinnikinnick", a Delaware term meaning "mixed"; its exact composition depended on locally available plants and tree bark, but in general the bearberry plant, red osier dogwood, cornel wood, bunchberry plant, sumac, arrowroot, laurel, cherry bark, black birch and willow bark would be dried and used for a smoking mixture.The only exception among the Plains tribes were the Crows, who grew a specific type of nicotiana (tobacco) plant during elaborate annual religious ceremonies - but this was never used for smoking. Its flowers resembled stars and the plant was credited with celestial and spiritual powers, so it was considered far too sacred to smoke in pipes.
What plants grow in isle royale national park?
From the Isle Royale website: Isle Royale is home to over 600 flowering plants which range in size form tiny duckweed's floating in inland ponds to majestic white pines reigning on its ridges. The island's flowering plants, which include trees and shrubs, grow in a variety of wetlands, uplands, and aquatic habitats. They can even survive in seemingly inhospitable places such as minute crevices on wave-splashed Lake Superior bedrock shoreline, where only a few plants, such as the tiny pearlwort, are able to eke out a living. Many of the island's more than 40 endangered and threatened plant species (such as pearlwort, eastern paintbrush, and yellow mountain saxifrage) are arctic disjuncts, whose main ranges are further to the north. In contrast to island rarities, plants such as big-toothed aster, sarsaparilla, bunchberry, and many grass and sedge species are very common throughout the island in a number of habitats. In fact, there are more than 100 species of grasses and sedges known from Isle Royale, but their inconspicuous flowers are seldom noticed by camera-carrying visitors who are in search of more photogenic flowers offered by ladyslipper orchids, bunchberries, gay-wings, harebells, and twinflowers. Some island plants flower throughout the summer, while many others only bloom for a short time. For example, many early season visitors to the island are thrilled by the sight of blooming calypso orchids along Rock Harbor trails, and skunk-cabbages and marsh marigolds adjacent to swamp boardwalks. By August, these and other early flowers are distant memories having been replaced by later blooming ladies-tresses orchids, asters, and goldenrod.
What are some kinds of plants that are in Alaska?
Devils Club is found primarily in mature or old growth forests, and so is sensitive to habitat loss as these forests are disturbed or clearcut for timber. This member of the ginseng family gets its name from its thorny appearance. It is sometimes confused in the literature with its eastern cousin, Aralia spinosa, also known as devil's club or devil's walking stick. Oplopanax has a tradition of use among the Tlingit, Kwaikiutl, Skagit, and many other nations within its range. It has been used as a blood purifier, pain reliever, tonic, and digestive aid.Skunk CabbageThe Skunk Cabbage is a large-leafed plant that grows in wet areas, especially near streams, ponds, marshes, and wet woods. It is easy to recognize, with its huge leaves rising directly from the ground.Lupine:The Lupine lives in open habitats like gravel bars, meadows, marshes, and slopes. Like most members of this family, lupins can fix nitrogen from the atmosphere into ammonia, fertilizing the soil for other plants. Bears love to eat the roots. Some butterflies feed off the lupine and lay their eggs on its leaves. The flowers are produced in dense or open whorls on an erect spike, each flower 1-2 cm long, with a typical peaflower shape with an upper 'standard', two lateral 'wings' and two lower petals fused as a 'keel'. The fruit is a pod containing several seeds.Monkshood:The common monkshood is a high plant with slim stem and beautiful blue blossoms. It grows on wet grassland, stony or rocky slopes, and near forest streams. During the blooming season, the plant is very prominent against the background of other plants and attracts the eye. The common monkshood is one of the most poisonous plants of European flora. Since ancient times, people have known that it is poisonous and have used it as a weapon by coating their spears and arrowheads with its strong poison. The plant was used for killing panthers, wolves and other carnivores. The ancient Roman naturalist Plinius describes friar's cap under the name "plant arsenic". It was often used for criminal purposes.Forget-me-notThe Alaska state flower. Forget me not flowers are very fragrant in the evening and night time, though there is little or no scent in the daytime. They can be annual or perennial plants. Their root systems are generally diffuse. Their seeds are found in small, tulip shaped pods along the stem to the flower. The pods attach to clothing when brushed against and eventually fall off, leaving the small seed within to germenate elsewhere. The seeds can be collected by putting a piece of paper under the stems and shaking them. The seed pods and some seeds will fall out.FireweedThis coarse, homely American weed is an annual and derives its name from its habit of growing freely in moist open woods and clearings, and in greatest luxuriance on newly-burnt fallows. It has composite flowers, blooming from July to August. Fireweed is a rank, slightly hairy plant, growing from 1 to 7 feet high. The thick, somewhat fleshy stem is virgate, sulcate, leafy to the top, branching above, the branches erect. The young shoots were often collected in the spring by Native American people and old timers and mixed with other greens. They are best when young and tender; as the plant matures the leaves become tough and somewhat bitter.BunchberryBunchberry grows in extensive low patches, with one bunch of leaves at top and just above that, a cluster of tiny greenish flowers surrounded by 4 ovate white or pinkish bracts. The flower cluster resembles a single large flower held on a short stalk above leaves. Bunchberry produces bright red, round berries in a tight cluster. It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 10-15 cm tall, with leaves in opposite pairs, 2-4 cm long and 1-3 cm broad. The flowers are small, dark purple, produced in a tight umbel, and surrounded by four conspicuous white petal-like bracts 1-1.5 cm long. The fruit is a red berry.Douglas AsterDouglas aster is a patch-forming perennial aster with hairy stems and purple flowers.This Northwest native grows in both fresh and saline situations. It is a handsome plant with pretty late summer flowers. It is often offered in native plant nurseries. Douglas' aster is a rhizomatous perennial wildflower with erect, usually unbranched stems to 130 cm high. It is highly variable in appearance and may resemble both leafy aster and Eaton's aster. The lower leaves are oblanceolate, tapering to a winged petiole. The leaves of mid-stem are lance-shaped and range from 7-13 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. The blades are smooth and hairless with toothed margins above mid-blade.SalmonberryAlso known as the salmon raspberry, the salmonberry is an erect or sometimes leaning shrub with weakly armed stems, bright pink flowers, and yellow or salmon-red fruits that resemble a cultivated blackberry in all but color. The fruit is juicy and slightly sweet. Salmonberries are found in moist forests and stream margins especially in the coastal forests, where they are native. They often form large thickets, and thrive in the open spaces under stands of Red Alder. Books often call the fruits "insipid" but depending on ripeness and site, they can be considered quite good and are used for jams, candies, jellies and wines by locals. They were and continue to be an important food for native people.JewelweedBranching annual with distinctive orange to red funnel-shaped flowers. Touch-me-not is found primarily along roadsides, along the edges of streams and marshes, and in other noncrop areas. Jewel Weed usually grows near water or in shallow ponds. It is often found in areas where Poison Ivy grows and is a very effective antidote for it.
