    I just had to smile. I'm from the mountains of East Tennessee and everything about this video reminded me of my grandmothers on both sides of my family. Same dishes even! An older Corelle pattern of dishes. My grandmother has the same exact set, including the amber colored glasses and stainless steel utensils. We fried bread the same way, collected food from nature the same way. Honestly, I never knew much about how the people have adapted to Oklahoma. I'm now living in Cheyenne, WY and I can say everything is absolutely different. The mountains are not the same, the vegetation is not the same, the animals are not the same, and I feel a bit like a fish out of water. But, I have figured out how to grow a garden in Cheyenne. I've been here 3 years now.

I am dark completed, dark course hair and brown eyes. can definitely see my Cherokee blood. but my great grandma said our native secrets were left in the mountains when they came here on foot with a wagon train. Ggggreat Grandpa Dinkins passed away shortly after they came here and he left behind his wife and about a dozen children. I would love to learn my Cherokee heritage. don't know how I can find out their names etc but want to definitely learn more about their culture.

      Poke has so much poison in it. That's why you pour the first boiled water off. That's why you put eggs or plenty of salty pork grease in it. That's why if you don't know how to fix it you better let someone that does.

    I love Polk Salad and eggs! My Mom use to make it in season and I'm about to pick some young and tender this week.
    Remember to avoid the stalk - it is Toxic/Poison.
    I make Ham and Dumplings - from Hambone and bone meat, Mom made this and it's so good!

    So very important & touching to see the closeness of your family and how you are not afraid to share your secrets with them. I've known people to go to their graves with their recipes or techniques. It's a very sad thing when that happens because those who are left behind have grown to love what their loved ones have provided throughout their lives. It only adds to the grief because not only do they miss their loved one but they have no way to carry on those methods. You're to be commended.
