Show different environments ( such as rocky, dry, wet, in meadows, lakes, forest, sagebrush, and subalpine areas). ECOTONE ( 1995: A- 2, A- 5, A- 9, A- 17, A- 20, A- 23, A- 29) reports this for many environments on the reservation. The plant was sighted in Uinta, Whiterocks, and Yellowstone canyons and throughout the reservation area ( 1.2; 1.3; 4.2; 4.3). Ute Medicinal and Ritual Uses: Chamberlin ( 1909a: 33) reports that the root of one variety, the parviflora, was used by the Utes as a medicine for intestinal problems. There was no confirmation from the Ute consultants we interviewed. Other Uses by Utes: Smith ( 1974a: 273) noted this plant was probably used as a pottery temper. Uses by Neighboring Great Basin Populations: The Shoshones of Nevada use the roots of another variety, the linariefolia, for venereal disease, emetic, physic and blood purifier ( Train et al. 1974: 53). A. 5., 9 Lon^ foot.. Spring... Parsley ( Cymopterus longpipes, Apiaceae): The Ute name given by Chamberlin ( 1909a: 33) is [ o- an- tuv]. Reported locations: Occurring in the Uinta Basin, this plant is mostly mountainous, above 7,000 feet in sagebrush and grassland communities. It is considered locally common and widespread, although none have been reported on the Tavaputs Plateau ( Goodrich and Neese 1986: 26). ECOTONE ( 1995: A- 17) lists this plant in sagebrush and grassland environments on the reservation. Ute Food Uses: Both Fowler ( 1986: 70) and Chamberlin ( 1909a: 33) reported this was used as food by the Northern Utes, and one consultant ( 1.1) mentioned it is eaten today as well. Uses by Neighboring Great Basin Populations: Chamberlin ( 1911: 367) also indicated that spring parsley leaves were also eaten by the Shoshones and the Gosiutes. A.. 5.. 1Q Prickly... Pear... Cactus ( Opuntia, Cactaceae): The Ute name, as reported by Smith ( 1974a: 273), is /? iyi= ti maa= pi/. Reported Locations: This cactus is found in the Uinta Basin, in dry areas among sagegrass and juniper communities ( Goodrich and Neese 1986: 100). ECOTONE ( 1995: A- 16, A- 20) reports this plant in sagebrush/ grassland and juniper environments on the reservation. It was sighted and identified in a sagebrush community in Uinta Canyon ( 4.2). Ute Food Uses: The stems and fruits of the Opuntia were used for foods ( Stewart 1942: 251; Fowler 1986: 72). Ute Medicinal and Ritual Uses: H. Wardle ( Oral History, American West Center, 1970) indicated that cactus stems swere split on the plant and then bound to a sty as a cure. One Ute consultant ( 4.2) mentioned that they 68 |
