The squash seeds are the third generation from mother seeds found
about six years ago at an archaeological dig on a Menominee reservation
near Green Bay, Wis. "They found a clay ball, (used) for storing seed.
It was carbon-dated to 850 years ago," Menzel said.
In the ball were squash seeds that eventually were given to Winona
LaDuke, a longtime advocate for native food sovereignty. She called the
squash Gete-okosomin, an Anishinaabe word that roughly translates to
"really cool old squash."
