Hi, John,
Although headquartered in Arizona, you might contact the Tohono O'odham.
Over the past few years, the tribe has been actively working on projects
to reclaim/replant traditional and indigenous foods. Jane Goodall has
written a little bit about it in her most recent book. One of the tribal
plans eventually is to make the seeds and foods available for sale over
the internet. Perhaps someone working with that project could point you
in the right direction.

Subject: Seeds and roots of the Hunter/Gatherers
We are looking for a few "real" seeds and roots used by indigenous
tribes of southern Idaho and/or
southeast Idaho such as biscuitroot, cous, camas, yapah, bitteroot
roots and seeds such as mule-ear, Hooker's balsamroot, fourwing
saltbush, basin wildrye, Indian ricegrass, common elderberry, etc.
Does anyone know of any native plant nurseries or source to get the
roots/seeds (not the actual plants)
for exhibit purposes?
Thanks!
John
