Native camas dig and bake

During the weekend of July 18-20, members of the Traditional Ecological Inquiry Program (TEIP) with the Long Tom Watershed Council dug up, cleaned, and baked camas bulbs. Camas is an important First Food for many Native and Indigenous communities across the Pacific Northwest, Rockies, and Plains regions. Two teams conducted two separate ovens, with slight differences in materials, heat, and cooking time. Whose camas will come out the best? Watch this video for the big reveal!
