High school student, Destany “Sky” Pete, of the Shoshone and Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation in Idaho and Nevada, developed interest in the medicinal properties of the chokecherry, which is still harvested and consumed in her community today. Traditionally, the Shoshone and Paiute prepared chokecherry pudding, known as toishabui, in the Paiute language.
