Culturally Significant Plants of the Choctaw Nation Reservation features native plants found across the reservation. It blends a field guide with cultural knowledge and the Choctaw language, helping community members identify and learn about plants that are important in Choctaw tradition.
When harvesting or foraging in wild areas, take care to leave more plants than you pick. This helps make sure the plants continue to thrive.
