At 1 p.m.,  listen to a talk on "Ethnobotany of the Southwest: Apache Plant Use." Throughout their history, the Apache have lived and traveled in many different parts of the plains, gaining an intimate knowledge of a wide variety of plant resources. Dr. Ronald Lah will share Chihenne (New Mexico’s Chiricahua Apache) traditional uses and beliefs towards plants from the varied ecological zones of the vast Chihenne range, dealing not only with plant use for food, but also for medicines, as well as for a wide array of building and craft material, dyes, adhesives, and other uses.
