Plural of cama; a bed or sleeping place, especially in Spanish-speaking regions, or a type of plant with edible bulbs.
From Spanish 'cama' (bed), likely from Latin 'camae' or Germanic sources. Also refers to plants of the genus Camassia native to North America.
Native Americans carefully harvested and cultivated camas bulbs as a staple food for thousands of years—they were so valuable that tribes would fiercely protect their camas meadows!
