Sponsor Native Teachers to Train Wildharvesting Cooperatives

   From 2013-2016 we developed Kern River Wildharvesting Cooperative as a model to teach how The Wild Living Skills Database & Smartphone App can be used to coordinate with Forest Officials in order to legally harvest all sorts of forest products in a way which:

  • benefits the health of native ecosystems.
  • improves local food supplies and economies.
  • prevents out-of-control wildfires (including through re-implementing native burn techniques).

Some products include:

1.)  Highly-Nutritious Acorn Flour & Oil

  • Oak trees produce 4.5 tons of nuts per acre.

  • Acorns are a complete protein by themselves, containing all 9 essential amino acids.  Also high in calcium & potassium.

  • Acorns produce a rich, buttery oil similar to olive oil that is akin to the nutritional value of  coconut oil.

  • Acorns not only fed indigenous tribes of North America more than any other food prior to the expanse of the United States, but also they fed they fed European tribal people prior to the expanse of The Holy Roman Empire!

2.)  Buckeye Nut flour

  • Caution!  Buckeye nuts are poisonous when eaten raw due to the chemical aesculin present throughout the tree!

  • Buckeye nut flour has been a mainstay food for people around the world for hundreds of years, & can be processed into a highly-nutritious, starchy flour similar to potato flour.

  • Buckeye trees produce 4.4 tons of nuts per acre!

  • Buckeye nuts are much larger than most nuts currently sold on the U.S. market.

3.)  Pine nuts, pollen, & oil

  • Currently shipped in from China & Russia in markets, although they grow coast-to-coast throughout the U.S.

  • Nuts edible raw or toasted, and can be pressed for oil.

Nuts:

Pollen:

  • The pollen from the catkins is high is 30% its weight in protein & contains a wide variety of minerals & nutrients.

4.)  Red Desert Rice aka Indian Rice Grass

 Rice that doesn’t require boatloads of water to grow!?!?!  Its a “save the world food”!!!

  • grows in every contiguous state Colorado west.

5.)  Golden Chia Seeds

  • high in protein, omega-3, & antioxidants.

  • grows in 7 U.S. states! 

  • Golden Chia Seeds are currently not available in stores: Black Chia Seeds {Salvia hispanica} are imported from South America.

    Richard Lonewolf on Golden Chia Seeds:

6.)  Sycamore Syrup

  • similar to maple syrup, but tastes more like butterscotch & honey.

  • Just like Maple syrup, Sycamores make yummy syrup without even harming the tree.  Its “the west coast syrup”!!

     Many more forest products can be found throughout www.WIldLivingSkills.org, with many more to be featured throughout the page soon.  Always use Positive-Impact Harvesting Techniques whenever harvesting.

     Wildharvesting Cooperatives are to be implemented especially on the outskirts of urban areas to help protect them:

Click to Enlarge:

    Unfortunately, in the spring of 2016 Kern River Wildharvesting Cooperative was robbed & forced to close.

     We currently plan to model a second wildharvesting cooperative in 2018 in a different part of the state.  By gearing up, training, & then documenting “the first wildharvesting cooperative in the country”, we anticipate creating a replicable model which can be implemented just about anywhere, especially as The Wild Living Skills Database & Smartphone App continues to be developed.

     We anticipate prioritizing hiring native teachers to help train Wildharvesting Cooperatives — part of plan to provide dignified jobs for native teachers.

Contributions will be used to directly and/or indirectly influence the selection, nomination, election, or appointment of individual(s) to federal, state, and local public offices, and to offices in political organizations.

Notice regarding all political Campaign contributions made through this site:

Wild Willpower PAC is a nonpartisan, “nonconnected PAC”, registered with the IRS as a 527 tax exempt political organization; the first registered "Civil PAC" in the nation. While many PACs primarily focus on getting candidates elected (or not elected), Wild Willpower PAC utilizes campaign contributions toward Service Projects to help the general public. We are non-partisan because politics ought be about good ideas and benefiting society as a whole rather than "turning one group against another group". Politics today have become too "sports team mentality" - people support their side for better and for worse even when it is unjust to do so - and that's where Wild Willpower draws the line. We seek credible information, and to evaluate nuance prior to planning our trajectory, and we sincerely invite you to join us. If you see anything within our National Plan, Service Projects, or case work which could be improved, email [email protected]. "We the People" can co-create the best national plan possible. Notice that although campaign contributions ("donations", "contributions", "profit from sales") will be used to directly and/or indirectly influence the selection, nomination, election, or appointment of individual(s) to federal, state, and local public offices, and to offices in political organizations,we primarily uses funds to finance Service Projects to benefit the general public. Wild Willpower PAC only promotes candidates who openly align themselves with our National Plan and Service Projects. We believe that "We the People" need to coordinate more directly with candidates instead of simply voting for whatever they're trying to sell us - and that is why we registered the first Civil PAC in the nation. Due to FEC restrictions we are required to inform you that we may not accept contributions from foreign nationals.
