  • The Prairie Potato
    Topeka's Roots: the Prairie Potato The word Topeka comes from Indian words meaning a good place to dig potatoes. by Barbara Burgess, Ph. D. http://www.barbburgess.com/research-topics/prairie-potato-topeka/topeka-s-roots-the- prairie-potato Part 1. Topeka - a good place to dig potatoes. Topeka’s roots grow deep in the Kansas soil, and in this case the roots really are roots, known to scientists as Psoralea esculenta and to pioneers and Indians as prairie potatoes or prairie turnips. The word Topeka comes from Indian words meaning a good place to dig potatoes. Founded on December 5, 1854, Topeka was officially named on January 2, 1855. Fry W. Giles, one of the city’s founders, wrote that the Rev. S.Y. Lum proposed the name Topeka on January 1, 1855, and Giles said that the founders of the city chose the name because it was “a name not found in the list of post offices of the United States, nor in any lexicon of the English language. It was novel, of Indian origin and euphonious of sound.” (Giles 27) Giles said they liked the idea of the name being composed of three consonants alternating with 3 vowels and that it was a good name because it should be easy to pronounce. He said that the name was unanimously adopted by the founders of Topeka on January 2, 1855. (Giles 27) While the city’s founders may not have known the meaning of Topeka, they did not invent this word. They may have found the name on the map drawn by missionary Johnston Lykins who drew the map while he was living at the Potawatomi Baptist Mission in 1849.

Native American popula- tions have long used the roots of this plant as food source. The Psoralea root has a tough outer covering (bark) and a fleshy interior that contains numerous isolated vascular strands. Root tissues from mature and young roots were fixed and embedded in JB-4 plastic.

JULY 1936 FOOD PLANTS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS By ELIAS YANOVSKY, chemist, Carbohydrate Resea'rch Division, Bureau of Chemistry and Soils CONTENTS Page Page Foreword 1 Literature cited 65 Introduction I Index 69 Plants 2 FOREWORD This publication is a summary of the records of food plants used by the Indians of the United States and Canada which have appeared in ethnobotanical publications during a period of nearly 80 years.This compilation, for which all accessible literature has been searched, was drawn up as a preliminary to work by the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils on the chemical constituents and food value of native North American plants.In a compilation of this sort, in which it is im- possible to authenticate most of the botanical identifications because of the unavailability of the specimens on which they were based, occa- sional errors are unavoidable.All the botanical names given have been reviewed in the light of our present knowledge of plant distribu- tion, however, and it is believed that obvious errors of identification have been eliminated. The list finds its justification as a convenient summary of the extensive literature and is to be used subject to con- firmation and correction.In every instance brief references are made to the original authorities for the information cited.

  • Historical Use of Native Plants As Food
    Historical Use of Native Plants As Food Anna Leighton This article was originally printed in the Proceedings of the 1994 Annual Meeting of the NPSS. This paper concerns native Saskatchewan prairie plants used for food by some of the Plains tribes of our area: the Blackfoot, Assiniboine, Cree, Hidatsa and Gros Ventre. A typical prairie hillside near Saskatoon in early summer has a large number of native species growing on it, which are adapted to this particular environment. This habitat is typical of the ones where the Plains Indians found edible native plants. Useful food plants are not confined to the sheltered or moist habitats in river valleys and coulees, but also occur on the open prairie. The Plains Indians had a long and intricate dependence on prairie ecosystems and had to know which plants were useful. Fortunately, much of this knowledge had been preserved in writings about traditional native life. These writings are the source of information for this paper. Without these, we would need to collect and analyse our prairie plant species for nutrient content and the presence of toxins before knowing what is edible and what is not. This kind of research is both expensive and time consuming. In addition, it does not address the questions of what are the best season for collection and the best methods of preparation of the foodstuff. One of the most important staples in the Plains Indian diet is a native plant that grows on prairie hillsides. It has a large starchy root that grows about 15 cm. under the ground.
