Oklahoma Native American community sees yearly return of popular wild onion dinners
Fox News
The return of spring to Oklahoma each year brings with it new growth of wild green onions, which generations of local Native Americans have harvested as part of a seasonal tradition.
The bright green stalks of the onions reach a few inches above the dried leaves that crunch under Dry’s feet on a crisp morning in March as he hunts through parks and empty lots near downtown Tulsa. The land he forages straddles the Muscogee Nation and the Cherokee Nation, and he’s thinking of his elisi — grandmother in Cherokee — who taught him how to pick and cook wild onions.
"Being able to cook like this, cook the things that my grandmother would cook for strangers, that’s really cool," Dry explains as he scans the forest floor. He’s careful not to overharvest, taking only what he needs.
