Gete Okosomin Squash seeds

Gete Okosomin is an ancient rare heirloom that is believed to have been cultivated by the Nation of Miami. Although a popular story states seeds where found in a clay ball that dates back to 800 years, this has since been debunked, but it's still rare and its origins date back decades. Gete Okosomin is a Native American banana-type squash, which name translates roughly into "Cool Old Squash" in the Anishinaabe dialect.  The seeds are believed to have been passed down over generations by the Miami Nation of Indiana. 
 
We grew these for the first time this year. The seeds you purchase are from the squash pictured. The seed cavity is long and hollow, the skin was very thin, and the flesh was exceptional to say the least. We actually took the seeds out and blended the squash with a little chicken broth, no seasoning and it is now one of our favorites. There was no need to peel the skin. Our biggest was close to 3 feet in length and weighed just under 20 lbs. The skin is a vibrant orange color with light stripes running the length of each squash. When eaten raw, it had a melon-type taste. It rides the fine line of sweet and savory. This could easily be prepared as either. a dessert or savory dish.
