Quote by David Pompeani

“Using his copper knife, he cuts a segment of bark from a dying birch tree. Laying the birch bark on a flat rock, he scrapes the dry inner part of the bark with his knife, developing a small pile of dry fibers that resemble sawdust. The friction soon turns to heat, smoke, and flame.”

“Similarly, others think that the mined copper has gone “missing,” and that this perceived absence of artifacts in North America was further evidence for trans-Atlantic trade. I learned that this misunderstanding arose because most people are totally unaware that thousands of copper artifacts made by Native Americans have been found around Lake Superior and are still regularly discovered to this day. The reality is that these so-called missing copper artifacts were simply lost over vast stretches of forests, lakes, rivers, and prairies. One can only guess how many missing artifacts are actually out there. If the size and extent of the prehistoric copper mines around Lake Superior are any indication, thousands of artifacts are still likely to be found.”

“Many seed foods contain B vitamins (especially B1, B2, B6 and B9) and nuts can provide vitamin E and Vitamin K1, but this food group is relatively micronutriet poor. Although standard nutrient tables list many seed foods as being high in essential minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, or manganese remember: Just because a food contains a nutrient doesn't mean we can access it.”
