BLUE CAMAS

BLUE CAMAS – Herbal Traditions• Use of plants for health and healing:

• Native Americans believe plants have energy and spirit.

• Historically, Plateau tribes gathered & used over 130 different wild plants.

• Estimated 40% to 60% of calories came from gathered plant foods.

• One of the most important root crops for the Plateau tribes was camas.

• In some places in the Northwest, camas was so common that non-Indian travelers would mistake the plant's blue flowers for “distant lakes”.

• Camas is very high in protein: 5.4 ounces of protein per pound of roots.

• Camas was dug up using digging sticks made from elk antlers.

• Men gathered the wood for the roasting ovens BUT not allowed near the roasting pits for fear the camas would not be roasted properly.

• Once roasted camas is dried and can be preserved for many years. Some American explorers report eating camas that had been prepared 36 years earlier.

BLUE CAMAS – Kalispel Tribe

• From the tribes webpage “Kalispel Indians or ‘River/Lake paddlers’ as they were called by other tribes, or ‘camas people,’ as Kalispel is translated in English…”

• Camas is a symbol is sustainability for the Kalispel Tribe. As the ‘Camas People’ – we assume this important critical root helped the people “sustain” during challenging winter months.

• Kalispel Tribe developed the Camas Institute for Wellness: • Camas Center: is a center for the promotion of health and is part of

the Kalispel Tribe’s vision for improving the standard of living among tribal members. • Camas Path: is the fulfillment of the Kalispel Tribe's vision of

education, employment, and community involvement; it encourages individual development which creates healthy communities.
