Good Afternoon,
The area I have selected to observe is an area of interest/traditional value for the Syilx Nation People (Okanagan Nation) In the Syilx Nation we are fortunate to have very diverse ecosystems and low to high elevations. The area I have chosen is endangered and affected by natural disturbances and is very valuable for traditional medicines and foods.
In this study I will look at the four areas of interest, The Canopy (IDF), Grasslands, Meadow and The Riparian Area.
Possible questions for my study
- What is the Current Plant Community? What is the Desired Plant Community (CPC, DPC)
- What are the affects of Cattle grazing on this ecosystem?
- What is the current status of the traditional foods/medicines for the Syilx People?
