  • Foraging for wild onions is more than just a tradition for many Cherokees. It's a way to connect with nature, spend time with loved ones and pass on important parts of our culture to new generations.

    She looks so much like my grandma! Lol. My grandma (Cherokee) and my dad (Blackfoot) always taught us how to forage. People bring theirs kitchen to the forest but the forest provides!

    So proud of my people. I'm blessed to have had my many elders teach me how to forage and stay with the teachings nature provides and only take what is needed. Keep up the great videos and spreading education to so many.

    I am not native but was born and raised in Catoosa, Rogers County. Collecting onions and having onions and eggs was a big thing to do in the spring. Such wonderful memories.

    When I was a child, every spring and summer visit to my grandmother's house included a scavenger hunt. They included things like wild onions, any berry that was bearing, wild roses, dandelions, goosefoot, cattail root, and many other native foods. Then she would make a meal using what we found. Acorn flour makes great flat bread. Proud of my Cherokee ancestry.

    Thanks for this video, I was looking for "native american wild edibles" & came across this. I love that you're holding strong to your culture and passing it on to your children. I was born in the Caribbean, & I learned about the wild edible food there because my mother taught me. I hope that all the Natives in this country can & will do just that, as well.

    Wow, what a wonderful way to keep tradition alive. And take from the earth, and leave some behind. And be thankful. I live in suburbia, a small town in N.C. There are wild onions in my front flower beds !! I thought I knew what they were, then I pulled one out and it sure looks like a "green onion" like I get in the grocery store. My neighbor said they don't taste like much cause they haven't been grown by farmers with fertilizer, etc. BUT , I found this site and I am going to look further. I don't think they knew anything about them, just heresay. Can't believe their in the suburbs !! Thank You. p.s. OK, like a lot of people, I am supposed to have Cherokee heritage, around 1/16 or 1/8. I respect that it' not much or maybe even doubtful. Not trying to be disprectful at all. I will keep coming back and learn more about how to love and live with the land.

      She taught us all wild onions ,boiling wild cherry bark for medical reasons, digging up roots, and etc. As kids we would go out and pull wild onions ourselves and eat them.

    My mom used to gather wild onions, greens such as dock and polk, mushrooms and sassafras root. She is half Shawnee/Cherokee. She learned all this from her grandmother, who used to weave baskets and make brooms, and had skills from her mother. I saw my great grandmother in a vision once, as a child of seven, while my family was visiting my uncle-my grandfather was also there. My great grandmother was sitting on the couch across from me and she had long yellow-gray hair, in braids. I told my mom about seeing her, and my mom said my great grandmother had already died. But I knew I had seen her, looking at me.

    I love dandelion greens, the bigger the better. Also plantain leaves. Saute some onion, and garlic if you like. Olive oil, or bacon grease. Butter works too. Whatever you have.
    Add the washed and chopped leaves, salt and pepper. Chilli flakes if you want. Cover. Stir once or twice, leave covered and turn it off. Great with egg, or without.
    I like it over white rice, or in fresh warm tortillas. Wraps. Delicious with a slice of toast as well. However you like it.
    Do the best with what you've got.

I showed her which ones were good to eat and which were not, and she has not made a mistake since. I thought it a little strange she would like wild garlic, but then we had a cat who would eat entire packages of Sonic onion rings, so maybe it's not so strange!

      Absolutely right. Born and raised in East Tennessee up in the mountains near to the NC border. Each spring as soon as the cold weather breaks, we head up higher for ramps. We never take all, take what you need, leave the others to germinate for the next season. We also chew birch bark along the way. My great grandmother was full native, I cannot say she was Cherokee because she died before I was born. She taught us all we knew about the forests.

    Got some growing in our yard and me and my sister are gonna pick some soon. Im also Native American, Lumbee with a little bit of Cherokee as well and i love nature, id rather be in the woods with the plants and animals than around other people.

      Me too, I rather be in my backyard with my plants and my garden, and I love the outdoors.
      I do not have native heritage myself. But I certainly do love native people, and their kind gentle ways.
      My sons also love native peoples, as they have some native heritage as well.

    I just started digging wild onions and I am part Cherokee. I wonder if my genes led me to this?
