Artist's Description
It was the middle of the winter time and very cold out side, below zero in my part of the world. I had picked some cattail plants in the fall and brought them indoors . This one was by my kitchen window and the sun had hit it just right so that it decided to shed its little seeds. However there is no wind to take them away indoors so they sat there like little fairies perched for take off on the end of the stalk ... so magical looking.
Native American tribes used cattail down to line moccasins and papoose boards. An Indian name for cattail meant, “fruit for papoose’s bed”. They also harvested cattails for hemp. They also wove cattail leaves into waterproof mats for the sides of their lodges, and sleeping mats on their travels. Some Indians made jelly from the root stocks and they can be used for marmalade. The pollen, which is very abundant and rich in vitamins and minerals, was harvested and used in bread by American Indians
