Research Statement:
Sidney Fellows is a member of the Shoshone-Bannock tribes. Her plan is to help establish camas, a traditional subsistence plant, at the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, and to contribute additional information to fellow tribal members about the importance and availability of this traditional food source.
Research Impact:
Camas is a traditional food that sustained Shoshone-Bannock people for untold generations, and beyond just a food, the camas plant has cultural importance that brings tribal communities together in healthful ways. The camas research project will also document and educate how important this traditional food source is to the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes.
