Buffalo Bird Woman dried food when the wind was strong and the sun was hot. Once dry, the squash slices were threaded on grass strings, taken into the lodge, and hung in the driest air. This harvesting and drying process took about one month to complete.

Buffalo Bird Woman’s Four-vegetables-mixed Four-vegetables-mixed was Buffalo Bird Woman’s favorite dish. Into a clay pot with water, she threw “one double-handful of beans and put on fire.” Once the beans were soft she cut a piece of strung dried squash, “as long as from my elbow to the tip of my thumb.” When the squash slices were cooked, she removed the squash with a horn spoon, mashed the squash, and returned it to the pot with beans. Then she added four to five double-handfuls of mixed meal, pounded sunflower seed, and pounded parched corn. It was brought to a boil and when ready for serving, she added two or three double-handfuls of parched sunflower seed.
