Excerpt: "Camas, a wild purple flower with an onion-like bulb, has been an important plant for Native people, mainly in the northwest. This is the time of year for harvesting and cooking them.

Grand Ronde tribal community debuts 'tiny shelter' villages

The community northwest of #SalemOR, off Highway 22 on the edge of the coast range, is a rural area with many of the same #housing difficulties other parts of #Oregon are experiencing."
