SUMMARY:Camas Is Our Story: Shoshone‑Bannock Kinship\, History\, and the 
 Restoration of Yampadai (Camas Prairie)
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, presented by Bailey J. Dann and Sidney U. Fellows\,
  will explore the deep cultural\, ecological\, and familial relationship be
 tween the Shoshone‑Bannock Tribes and pasigo—camas. It will highlight t
 he reciprocal reality that for thousands of years\, Shoshone‑Bannock peop
 le not only relied on camas\, but actively shaped and cared for the Camas P
 rairie through harvesting practices\, burning\, seasonal movements\, and ki
 nship‑based management. Using camas as a guiding relative and teacher\, t
 he presentation will weave together traditional ecological knowledge\, the 
 disruptions caused by American settlement\, and the enduring connections be
 tween people\, plant relatives\, and place.\\n\\nAttendees will learn how Y
 ampadai was intentionally tended by Native peoples\, how that relationship 
 was severed\, and how current Tribal‑led restoration near Fairfield is re
 newing both the prairie and the bonds that sustain it. Ultimately\, the tal
 k invites the Wood River Valley community to see themselves as part of this
  shared home: not passive observers\, but potential relatives to place\, wi
 th responsibilities to help the prairie recover and to ensure the blue bloo
 m endures for generations to come.\\n\\nBailey J. Dann (Shoshone-Bannock)
