Narrative

The information on the Kickapoo involvement was provided by Haglan, B. through a conversation with an elder of the Meskwaki tribe. The elder spoke English and a variety of Algonkian dialects. He grows the vegetable crops for the feasts of his clan and identifed this cultivar as being the one needed by the Kickapoo Indians for a particular, unspecified feast. He said he had been trading corn to the Kickapoos for years, saying that the Kickapoos claimed the weather was too severe for them to supply their own needs. He asked if I could grow a sizeable amount of it to be taken to Oklahoma and/or Mexico to be traded for bulrush and cattail mats, woven and sewn by Kickapoo women (Meskwaki women no longer construct these mats). The elder also explained how the Meshwaki gardeners were also familiar with this cultivar, but it was known that had come from the Kickapoo. The elder was given four ears. Barry Haglan grew plots of this corn in 1992, 1994, and 1995 west of Norwalk, IA.
