Five native Alberta plants that Aboriginal people used for food?

1. Chokecherry (_Prunus virginiana_): The fruit of the chokecherry plant was eaten fresh or dried and used in pemmican, a mixture of dried meat, fat, and berries. The pits were also used to make necklaces.

2. Saskatoon berry (_Amelanchier alnifolia_): The Saskatoon berry was another important food source for Aboriginal people. The berries were eaten fresh, dried, or cooked into jams, jellies, and pies.

3. Wild rice (_Zizania aquatica_): Wild rice was an important staple food for many Aboriginal peoples in North America, including those in Alberta. The grain was harvested from the wild and used to make flour, porridge, and other dishes.

4. Buffalo berry (_Shepherdia argentea_): The buffalo berry was a popular food source for Aboriginal people. The berries were eaten fresh, dried, or cooked into jams and jellies. The leaves were also used to make tea.

5. Dandelion (_Taraxacum officinale_): Although not technically native to Alberta, dandelions were introduced by European settlers and quickly became a part of the traditional diet of many Aboriginal peoples. The leaves were eaten fresh, cooked, or dried for use in tea or medicine. The roots were also eaten and used to make coffee substitutes.
