Abstract

The Teton Sioux name for the Sand Cherry is Ah-oon-ye-ya-pa which means "with the wind." They said that when the berry was picked with the wind the fruit would be sour. But when picked against the wind the cherries would be sweet. Perhaps this is an apt description of the variety in quality and flavor that can be found in the Sand Cherry.
