Description
**Tsodasha** a.k.a rabbit tobacco is one of the important plants that Indigenous Americans used both for practicality and spirituality. Both its fragrance, and its "tinder-bility" made this one of the important herbs for the Yuchi. Its importance is underscored by the Morphemes in its name: where **Tso** means sun or sacred, and denotes the importance of this herb, and **da** means fire and **sha** means fast or quick. This might be more comfortably translated as Sacred-fire-fast, i.e. sacred fire tinder. Dr. Jackson has researched the importance of the Everlasting species used in Oklahoma among the Yuchi, and reports his findings herein.
