History

• An heirloom with ancestry back to the Lakota Sioux Nation, it has been grown by the Native American people along the Missouri Valley prior to the arrival of settlers. It was also used by the troops stationed at Fort Atkinson in the 1820s and Fort Robinson in the 1870s and by the early Kincaid settlers after 1890 in Western Nebraska.
• Maintained by Alice Graham of Ashland.
