SUMMARY:Cultivating the Wild—Slideshow about traditional Coast Salis
 h landscape management
DESCRIPTION:Before European incursion, Coast Salish tribes were garden
 ers of a grand scale. Far from hunter-gatherers, they cultivated a wid
 e variety of native plants and managed fish and animal populations to 
 create an abundance of nutritionally superior food. Learn about their 
 sophisticated horticultural practices including intentional burning, f
 amily-owned perennial food plots, and wild animal husbandry.\n\nThe fi
 rst non-Indian explorers and missionaries did not see fields of grain,
  rows of vegetables, fenced in barnyards, or domesticated animals when
  they expanded into the Pacific Northwest. They described the Coast Sa
 lish tribes as semi-nomadic people who wandered the wilderness pluckin
 g berries and harvesting fish and game. The Indians did migrate from o
 ak savannahs created and maintained by controlled burns to subalpine g
 ardens of blueberries and huckleberries that they created. 15,000 year
 s of inhabitation allowed the Coast Salish to develop systems that pro
 duced an abundance of food from a wide variety of habitats and microcl
 imates.\n\nModern science is proving that the horticultural and social
  systems employed by Coast Salish tribes were more productive and effi
 cient than the best of today’s modern farms; while being truly susta
 inable unlike the “green movement” which is accelerating resource 
 extraction to maintain privilege; and much more egalitarian than our s
 ociety. Indians have been saying this since the Invasion began to larg
 ely deaf ears. Surprisingly to some, there are lessons that can be app
 lied today to create a sustainable and socially just future. Come with
  open ears and minds.\n\n\nFor directions/info contact:\nThe Outback�
