Description Botany and Ethnobotany Ethnobotany is the investigation of how individuals of a specific culture and district utilize native (local) plants. Plants give food, medication, cover, colors, filaments, oils, saps, gums, cleansers, waxes, plastic, tannins, and even add to the air we relax.What is ethnobotany and what difference does it make? Ethno (as in 'ethnic') alludes to individuals, culture, a culture's aggregate group of convictions, tasteful, language, information, and practice. Natural science is the investigation of plants — from the smallest greenery or piece of turf to the tallest or most established tree. Also The California Tribes of California

Native American tribes are native to California and shaman life pertaining to medicinal plants

This vast territory includes: Bear River, Mattale, Lassick, Nogatl, Wintun, Yana, Yahi, Maidu, Wintun, Sinkyone, Wailaki, Kato, Yuki, Pomo, Lake Miwok, Wappo, Coast Miwok, Interior Miwok, Wappo, Coast Miwok, Interior Miwok, Monache, Yokuts, Costanoan, Esselen, Salinan and Tubatulabal tribes.

Shamanism, the supposed individual control of the supernatural through a personally acquired power of communication with the spirit world, rests upon much the same basis in California as elsewhere in North America. In general among uncivilized tribes the simpler the stage of culture the more important the shaman. It is as if he constituted an element that remained nearly constant in quantity of effect, as it is fundamentally unvarying in form, through all successive periods of civilization to the highest; but that as increase in degree of civilization brought with it ever more and more new elements, religious and otherwise, and these unfolded in ever expanding complexity, he became, relatively to the total mass of thought and action of a people, less and less important.
