Oklahoma Wildcrafting    

Welcome - Osiyo

Oklahoma Wildcrafting is an art form used by many in Oklahoma.  From the numerous Native American tribes to those who lived through the Dust Bowl and Depression. For many in our state, this has been a way of life.  Why do I call it a art form?  It is because it has been passed down from generation to generation and perfection is achieved through the constant practice of this way of life.  From the use of broom weed for the flu to the preserving of wild fruit to the wild medicinal herbs many in this state have taken care of their families every day needs.

WARNING

Take a walk with KGOU's Scott Gurian. Listen to his radio program about forgaing with Jackie Dill.  Look at the pictures of our wild foods potluck.
