Abstract

"For untold generations before the encroachment of our modern world, the Yakima Indians found in the forest both material and spiritual values. Of the material value food was of major concern; wood products were secondary. Beginning in the early spring at lower elevations, valuable root plants such as the bitterroot, camas, and a host of others provided a source of food for the digging. The green shoots of these plants signaling the end of winter, the beginning of a new cycle of life, brought forth the annual migration of the Red Men to the mountains and the forest."
