Her description includes how a balsa was loaded and paddled, the extreme danger of navigating a crossing known for its strong currents and large whirlpool, and how songs the paddler sang upon approaching the island calmed the…
What Happened to Seri Sweets? Dietary Transition through Culinary Acculturation
During the decades of 1960–1980, Richard S. Felger and Mary B. Moser researched the botanical knowledge of the Seris (Comcaac), a hunter-gatherer and fishing people living in the arid desert of northwestern Mexico. They recorded and published an extensive body of species-specific data so rich in biological and ethnographic detail that it is possible to reconstruct a quickly eroding, annual dietary cycle; such a comprehensive account is a precious…
