How Hazelnuts Reveal Secrets from an Ancient British Columbia City

* research on tiny nut suggests Indigenous people cultivated food before wheat farming began in Egypt
* hazelnuts grow on low-lying bushes that proliferate near Hazelton, other areas of B.C.
* likely transplanted over 100s km by Indigenous people who lived in region 1,000s of years ago

[not my usual ‘sort of thing’ to post - as broad as that is - but I found this fascinating; it reminds me, in a sense, of the Incas incrementally selecting corn stock that can handle higher and higher altitudes, in ‘research stations’, although those were a domesticated crop]

* hazelnuts had been transplanted/cultivated for at least 7,000 years by Gitxsan, Tsimshian, & Nisga'a peoples
* research emphasizes Indigenous peoples' contributions to creation/maintenance of region's ecosystems

Study showing how Australian Aboriginal people shaped the distribution of useful plants across their lands, dispersing them in more preferable areas, etc:
"The findings call into question our whole notions of what agriculture is," said Douglas Bird, study co-author and professor of anthropology at Penn State. "Rather than thinking about the difference between agricultural societies and hunter-gatherer societies as a matter of kind, we'd be better off thinking about it as a matter of degree—that people influence plants long before they engage in what we think of as farming."" - https://phys.org/news/2024-10-landscape-effects-hunter-reshape-idea.amp
Peoples who are used to living with the environment (instead of "against" it) understand that often the best interventions are the ones that are extremely subtle. In this case, the interventions were so subtle that they didn't fit into traditional western understandings of cultivation and agriculture.
So it's good to see this kind of subtle cultivation getting more recognized by science. There are many ways to live with the environment and to place the resources you need into places that are convenient for you and your people. The more that westerners can learn that, the more possibilities open up for how to live with the land.
