Eskimo Potato

Eskimo Potato
The photo was taken in Denali National Park, but we saw these wildflowers in many different places. They were an important and nutritional food source for the Inuits and are even listed in the US Army's field manual as an edible survival food. We did not try them, but I would have liked to have done so. They are commonly known as the Eskimo Potato and their botanical name is Hedysarum alpinum.

Beautiful flowers ! The inuits knew about healing and eating from the wild nature. They saved one of my ancestors with sap from seqoias in Alberta nearly one century ago , otherwise he would have lost is wounded foot or even life ! he is burried in Edmonton with other missionaries
