DESCRIPTION:Land-use scientists increasingly recognize that ecological and
  anthropogenic forces have long interacted in complex ways\, forming many 
 of the landscapes we observe today. For example\, Indigenous peoples’ le
 gacies of plant cultivation and management can have profound effects on co
 ntemporary forest structure and species composition long after such practi
 ces have ceased. Despite relatively rich ethnographic accounts of practice
 s like orcharding and fruit tree management in the Pacific Northwest of No
 rth America\, archaeological research documenting these practises have bee
 n lacking. This presentation combines various lines of evidence from ecolo
 gical and archaeological sources\, allowing us to document and better unde
 rstand Indigenous orcharding and forest gardening throughout British Colum
 bia (Canada). This relatively new research contributes to a growing body o
 f evidence which reveals the ways in which Indigenous peoples’ land-use 
 has positive effects on the lived landscapes and supports descendant commu
 nities seeking to re-integrate land-based foodways and livelihoods in unpr
 ecedented times.\n\nRegister: https://cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/t
