Absolutely amazing work by my friend and colleague Dr. Chelsey Armstrong on the genetics of Indigenous hazelnut cultivation linking many of our Nations south to north in BC. My own Nlaka’pamux Nation’s hazelnuts up north 💚 www.science.org/content/arti... #ecology #indigenousSTEM
Indigenous tribes engineered British Columbia’s modern hazelnut forests more than 7000 years ago
Genetic analysis of hazelnut trees could help First Nations secure land rights in Canadian courts
