| chokecherry (6/4/11) |
"The food value of this widespread native cherry was not lost on the Native
Americans. For many tribes, particularly in the northern Rockies, northern
Plains, and boreal forest region, chokecherry was a staple food item. The widespread use of
chokecherry is ancient; its remains have been found at more archeological
sites in the Dakotas than any other wild plant." (Kindscher, 1987)
