When trees are sacred, the earth doesn’t turn into a desert.
And birds come, too, out of the air.

The Okanagan in History: Table of Contents
I have worked here since 2011 telling stories of the Earth as preparation for a history of the Intermontane Grasslands of Central Cascadia and the rainswept coast that keeps them windy and dry. Now I am presenting this history, step by step, as I have learned it, often from the land itself. The history of this region includes the Canadian colonial space “The Okanagan Valley”, which lies over the land I live in above Canim Bay. The story stretches deep into the American West, into the US Civil War, the War of 1812, and the Louisiana Purchase, as well into the history of the Columbia District of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In all, the story spans the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and the basins that surround them. In this vast watershed lie homelands as old as 13,200 years (Sequim) and 16,200 years (Salmon River.) That’s how far we are walking together here, who are all the land speaking.

The berries are edible when blanched too.
We have plenty of Western Mountain Ash (also referred to as Rowan).
It IS a very beautiful tree.

Thanks for the tip. How long would you soak them? I’m going to put up a rowan schnapps recipe in a few days, too.

Blanching would usually be about five minutes or less. You boil them for a very short time.
