A type of edible seaweed or marine plant harvested by Indigenous Pacific Northwest communities for food and traditional use.
A Native American word from Pacific Northwest Indigenous languages, reflecting traditional ecological knowledge of local marine resources and their harvesting.
Indigenous names for sea plants encode generations of knowledge about when to harvest them, how to prepare them safely, and their nutritional content. When these words disappear, humanity loses practical survival knowledge that was verified by thousands of years of testing.
