I know the Inuit did something like that.

Good luck with your planting, It nice to know that there are folk who know the history and will tell it as it was.

That's a history one does not hear much about. The First Nations people have been through so much over the hundreds and hundreds of years.

I like the legend about the First Nations people.
All up and down the Mississippi and through the Great Lakes, etc., there was a world of trade and commerce amongst First Nations and Native Peoples - the waterways were major transportation - even before horses came to the area. Must have been a peaceful world most of the time when sunflowers were their trade goods.

What a beautiful place that you describe. The people sound wonderful.
Our next door neighbor in Nevada had a field of sunflowers. They are beautiful as well as a provider of a yummy snack. I hope that your sunflower flourishes and gives you many seeds for future plants.
