Our Page is under construction please be patient with us as we add information. Wado

A word from our Town Chief, Stubborn Buffalo

Autumn is here now and we are all busy bringing in the rest of our harvest and putting our gardens to bed.  If anyone is interested in having any of the following fruit and or nut trees/shrubs please email me at leiber4u@yahoo.com We have plenty to share:  Blue Plum, Filbert, Hazelnut, English Walnut, and Peach, as well as Raspberry canes and strawberry plants.

Welcome to our town.  We are all learning together about the old ways as well as the new.  It is quite an experience to see Elders and young folk alike come together with a common goal in mind.  If you live in the Little Pool Town and have things that you would like added to the page please contact us.  If you can make it to our gatherings please come, you are all invited.  The only thing we ask that you keep in mind is that during a  gathering there will be no alcohol or street drugs allowed. I respectfully submit this to all my relations. Wado Troubled Waters  email us at troubledwaterss@yahoo.com

Cultural Corner

Upcoming Events

This month we are going to talk about wild edible foods.  Simple plants that we see every day, but, take for granted.  Let's start with the one everyone knows.... Dandelions ( Taraxacum officinale ). In the early spring the young green shoots are fantastic in salad or eaten raw.  Later in the season they take on a bitter taste and are better cooked. Changing the water and cooking them a second time takes away the bitterness. If you simmer the leaves for about ten (10) minutes it makes a tea that is good for colds.  Dandelions have a high content of vitamin A. This excerpt was taken from a book called  The Edible Wild written by Berndt Berglund and Clare E. Bolsby.  It is a wealth of information and I suggest that plant lovers and gardeners read this book.

There will be several work parties in the coming months to prepare for our annual gathering in June of 2010.  For times and the places please contact Troubled Waters.
