Collaboration with Friends of Buford Park and Mt. Pisgah- Eugene, Ore.
Since 201 1 , the Tribe's Cultural Protection Program has been actively working
with the Friends of Buford Park and Mt. Pisgah (The Friends). Interaction has
centered on cultural plants and traditional foods. The Friends grow native
plants in their nursery at Buford Park for local environmental restoration
projects. Through working with staff from our Tribe, The Friends have devel
oped a better understanding of the cultural values of some of these plants and
identified how these plants may be restored to Buford Park. In addition to
growing Tarweed, a traditjonal food known as Sappolil, The Friends grow
stinging nettle. The fiber of this plant is used for the making of rope and other
cordage. Don't worry, you don't use the stinging part to make rope. In order to
make rope from this material, the plant must be harvested at the correct time
of year and be set aside for over a year before it can be used to make rope.
Trie Friends nursery grows stinging nettle each year for restoration. Recently
they made the effort to harvest the seed (for their restoration work) at a differ
ent time then the harvesting of the stocks, which need to age longer before
being cut for use in making rope. This resulted in a large supply of stinging
nettle stalks that have been curing over winter and should be ready for use in
the late fall. The Friends have graciously offered the Tribe this material and
the Land and culture Department is currently working on setting up a class for
Tribal members and The Friends members to be held this fallwinter at Buford
Park in Eugene, Ore.
