23583 | 2560 | 255 | 36 | 14 | 1 | Rhizomes eaten raw, fried in grease or roasted. Rhizomes were sweet and crunchy and a much relished food. They were said to have been an important food during periods of low food supply as they were usually able to obtain them when needed. People give accounts of how they saved people's lives during such times. | Kari, Priscilla Russe, 1985, Upper Tanana Ethnobotany, Anchorage. Alaska Historical Commission, page 14 |
