Woksemi

On harvesting Wokas, making fry bread, and feeding the world first

This issue of Beyond the Margins is a video by Ke-As Ne-Asht Sheshatko. In this video—the first in a series of stories about life in Oregon called Yamatala—the filmmaker follows a family on the Klamath Tribes' reservation during Woksemi, or Wokas harvest season. Wokas is also known as great yellow pond-lily or Nuphar polysepala.
