There is a root feast first before we pick huckleberries. People are chosen to pick the berries. They go with prayer songs and they pick and sing. Only chosen ones are allowed out there. They bring all the berries in their baskets.
Men drum and sing.
People stay and visit and sing. Then they are ready to go and pick huckleberries. Late July or early August is the time for the Huckleberry Feast. It is a very special time. Children learn from early on to bring the berries back and not to eat them.
