hucklebberies and blueberries are members of the same family, but huckleberries are smaller and darker. both berries were a major source of food for the southeastern tribes, who ate them fresh, stewed, and cooked with meat (pemican). large quantities were also dried for winter use. some early scottish and english traders married into the leading cherokee families and their love of baked goods is aparent in the pies, cakes, and cobblers that are very much a part of the indian cooking.
