In the eastern forests, Indians were hunters, gatherers and simple agricultualists. Many surivied upon hunting and wild foods while waiting to harvest the '3 Sisters'
Tuckahoe root, mayapples, persimmons, berries, wild plums, cherries, paw paws, mushrooms, sumpweed seeds, cattail roots-shoots, acorns and nuts are some of the wild foods I'm familiar with.
What wild foods are found in your locations and how do you prepare them ?
Club moss spores can be used on bad cuts to stop bleeding. Sasafras root can bring down a fever or quell stomach pains. Willow bark as everyone knows can ease aches and pain.
