OKLAHOMA WILDCRAFTING

About Me

Hello and welcome. We are located in North Central Oklahoma, along the Cimmaron River.  I have led foraging classes and seminars in Oklahoma for the last 10 years.  I learned much of my foraging for wild foods,herbs and mushrooms from my Grandmother who was Cherokee.  I not only teach, but live my life this way.  Oklahoma is the number two state in the United States for plant diversity.  My classes deal with the Tsitsalagi practices of wild food gathering and preparation.  From the Trail of Tears to relocation in Oklahoma the Tsitalagi have survived by their foraging knowledge.  When taken from their homeland they had to learn and adjust to a new land with unknown plants. They practiced Nvwoti along the trail and in the new land.

Scheduled  Classes for 2008

APRIL 5, 2008
Day of foraging and ID, will start with a trip by vehicle to selected sites in the morning.  In the afternoon we will be foraging on foot.  Everyone will need to bring a dish for lunch.  Please dress in proper clothing for the afternoon foraging.  All who attend will be asked to sign a release before the foraging begins.  To sign up, send me an e-mail.  The class space is limited. There is no charge for this class.
 


Classes on wild herb and food preparation.
Due to many  requests, I will be giving classes on wild herb and food preparation this growing season.  Filming is being worked on at this time.  Those who are unable to travel at a short notice will have a way to watch this being done.  Will post when the short films are available. They will be on CD's.

Anyone who wishes to have a class in your area, contact me.
