I went down a rabbit hole looking for the Cherokee name for this plant, the Broadleaf Arrowhead or duck potato (seen on my walk yesterday). It’s widespread and was used by many Indigenous peoples. It has an edible tuber.

I didn’t find a Cherokee name but I did discover there’s an Indigenous Plant Wiki, organized by Indigenous people?! 🤎
