Ancient Native Americans may have cultivated medicinal plants in Bears Ears, study finds

Ancient Native Americans may have cultivated medicinal plants in Bears Ears, study finds Brian Maffly © Provided by Salt Lake Tribune (The Natural History Museum of Utah) University of Utah anthropologist Brian Codding surveys an archaeological site in the Bears Ears region, documenting the presence of plants with cultural importance to Native Americans. U. researchers and their Indigenous colleagues found 31 plant species that grow at such sites, suggesting the Ancestral Puebloans, who occupied these lands centuries ago, carried these plants to these locations where they continue to grow today. Ancient Puebloans left structures, pottery, tools, graves and countless other artifacts in Utah’s Bears Ears region, but they also left plant communities, rich with nutritional and healing properties, which are still growing in and around archaeological sites to this day, according to new research by University of Utah scientists and Indigenous colleagues.

University of Utah researchers from Salt Lake City working in south central Wyoming were as startled as anyone when light from the sun illuminated fossilized tracks from a large hippo-style animal that wandered the Earth 58 millions of years ago when that state included beachfront property. The discovery of several sets of the tracks, likely from a brown-bear sized Coryphodon, represent the earliest known evidence of mammals gathering near an ocean.

Cabin Fever Cures: SLC Adventures • Salt Lake Magazine

Last summer, well…It just wasn’t summer, right? Sure we went on hikes, longer than usual walks, dusted off the bike to pedal around empty streets and generally got away from our locked-down lives as best we could, but, meh. We’re talking about summer all caps SUMMER with festivals, parades, patios and un- bridled, unfettered, just-plain goofing off. And while not everything will be back in full form, there are rumors and rumblings of a proper Salt Lake Summer about to come out of hibernation and roar. As we, hopefully, tentatively, carefully, nervously look forward with our bleary eyes toward SLC’s summer glories, we find ourselves with a little bit of that old spring swing in our step. We’ve got a lot to make up for. This year it’s DOUBLE SUMMER. Get out there and make it count.
