For thousands of years, Native Americans cultivated Wapato—an aquatic tuber that grows itself, requires zero maintenance, and feeds families indefinitely. Plant it once in any wet area, and it multiplies through underground runners, providing fresh harvests every winter as long as you leave a quarter of the tubers behind. With over 900mg of potassium per serving (nearly triple that of a banana), double the protein of potatoes, and rich B-vitamins, Wapato was nutritionally superior to most European crops. Yet beginning in the late 1800s, federal "Reclamation Acts" systematically drained millions of acres of wetlands where Wapato thrived, erasing this infinite food source from the landscape. The official reason was agricultural development, but the result was clear: Indigenous communities lost their most reliable food supply and became dependent on industrial farming. Today, most Americans have never heard of Wapato—the perennial survival food that could have fed generations without plowing, planting, or irrigation.
