Ginseng is an example. I knew and am part of the "Pickers" or root diggers culture of Southern Appalachia, with women like Scent Keith, a descendant of Powhatan, and others, long ago and more recently, digging and harvesting wild herbs for a living and profit. You may want to note that U.S. Government Official Treaties with The Cherokee give Cherokee Tribe enrolled members and enrolled family treaty trade rights, including the herbal trade. This important exception to herb harvesting law is significant for those of us who are enrolled Cherokee or enrolled Cherokee Nation Tribe family members. We do NOT need herb harvest permits. - Regards, Martin Redbird, aka V. Martin Ogrosky www.cherokeeempire.com Oct 4, 2008 Farming of “wild roots” is gaining as laws and access become problems.
