Also called Man-of-the-Earth, Man Root and Wild Rhubarb, this plant was an important food source for Native Americans. It's root can grow up to 30 pounds and 4 feet in length. It is similar to the sweet potato to which it is related but said to be more bitter in taste.
"May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong."
Chief Dan George
