DoomsdaysCWLegacy of #Indigenous #stewardship of #camas dates back more than 3,500 years, #OSU study finds
May 20, 2024
Excerpt: CORVALLIS, Ore. — "An #Oregon State University study found evidence that Indigenous groups in the #PacificNorthwest were intentionally harvesting edible #CamasBulbs at optimal stages of the plant’s maturation as far back as 3,500 years ago.
"The findings contribute to the growing body of research around #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge and practices, demonstrating the care and specificity with which Indigenous groups have been stewarding and cultivating natural resources for millennia.
"Camas is an #ecological and cultural keystone, meaning it is a species that many other organisms depend on and that features prominently within many cultural practices.
" 'If you think about #salmon as being a charismatic species that people are very familiar with, camas is kind of the plant equivalent,' said Molly Carney, an assistant professor of anthropology in OSU’s College of Liberal Arts and lead author on the study. 'It is one of those species that really holds up greater #ecosystems, a fundamental species which everything is related to.'
"An eye-catching blue flower that grows widely throughout the Pacific Northwest, camas is referred to in Indigenous calendars across the region, with the plant’s growth stages used as a sort of seasonal benchmark. It is often included in traditional #FirstFood ceremonies, in which tribal communities mark the coming of spring with the first #SalmonRun or the first #EdibleRoots after a long winter, Carney said.
"Camas bulbs must be baked for two to three days to render them edible. Once soft, the bulbs taste a bit like sweet potato, Carney said. Traditional baking was done in underground ovens using heated rocks."

Albert Alarcon Jr.The Measure of a Person
A reflection on what it truly means to be a good person. Explores how character is shaped less by grand moments and more by the quiet choices we make every day—what we notice, what we ignore, and how we respond to the people and responsibilities in front of us.https://albert-alarcon.com/2026/03/29/the-measure-of-a-person/
Stewardship Leadership ModelD. L. Dantes argues that government and the economy are intertwined, both relying on trust and stability. Instability in one leads to fragility in the other, impacting participation and productivity. Effective #leadership is essential for rebuilding capabilities through training and policy reforms. A competent society values #stewardship over mere performance to prevent economic collapse. https://visionleon.com/the-fragility-of-trust-how-economy-and-government-interconnect/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ReviveOldPost #governance #systemsthinking #recovery #civiccompetence
WPS NewsStewardship Over Accumulation
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — June 3, 2026
Modern financial culture often frames success as accumulation. Growth is measured by size, speed, and visibility. In this framing, more is always better, and faster is always smarter. Stewardship offers a quieter and more durable alternative.
Stewardship begins with responsibility rather than ambition. It asks how resources are used, not how impressively they are displayed. Within Christian moral teaching, stewardship emphasizes care, accountability, and purpose. Resources are treated as tools to be managed wisely, not trophies to be collected.
This perspective changes how saving is understood. Saving is not an act of withdrawal from life, nor a signal of fear. It is a deliberate choice to prepare for obligations that are known and those that cannot yet be predicted. Stewardship accepts uncertainty and responds with preparation rather than denial.
Regular, modest saving reinforces this ethic. The practice does not rely on exceptional income or favorable conditions. It relies on consistency. Over time, stewardship expressed through saving creates resilience. It reduces reliance on credit and limits exposure to sudden disruption.
Stewardship also resists the pressure to equate financial worth with personal value. Accumulation invites comparison. Stewardship invites discernment. It allows individuals to evaluate choices based on function and necessity rather than status or imitation.
This approach does not condemn prosperity. It places it in context. Prosperity is treated as stability, flexibility, and the capacity to meet responsibilities without panic. These outcomes rarely require excess. They require attention, discipline, and restraint.
In uncertain economic conditions, stewardship offers clarity. It redirects focus from accumulation to management and from spectacle to sustainability. Practiced consistently, it supports a form of prosperity measured not by growth alone, but by readiness and responsibility.
