Field Notes

Notes:

Labrador tea leaves are fragrant and were used
as a beverage and medicine by many tribes such as
the Quinault and Makah in western Washington, the
Potawatomi in the Great Lakes region, and the
Iroquois in the Northeast. This tea was as popular
among tribes as green tea, chai and black teas are to
Western culture today.
