Narrative
Seed given to Dr. Henry Shands by Hans Walker who received the seed from Myra Snow. According to Ms Snow the seed was unearthed from one of the food caches down in the old village of Stanton N.D. the old village of Stanton was abandoned by Mandan Indians in 1837 because of smallpox.

Additional narrative provided by Darian Kath, Interpretive Specialist with the National Park Service at the Knife River Villages National Historic Site (2023-08-16):

The type maize/corn comes from a Hidatsa village known as Amahami (now Stanton, ND). The courthouse was to be built on the former village site, so archeological work was conducted in 1971-72. Myra Snow received seven ears during this time and began growing it. In June 1990, she was interviewed by a former park ranger here (he was a field student during this same excavation) and talks about amassing a large amount after 18 years of growing it.
