The white way is not the Indian way. The white man stole our oasis
and left us hot blooded. Because we had no
place to rest many died from common cold
- damn the white man and his cranberry sauce
at Thanksgiving!
Today our people are less affected by (cc: exterior
disorders) but have instead succumbed to alcohol (cc:
SP/ST cold from deficiency)
English Name: cynanchum, blackened sallowwort root, versicolorous swallowwort root
Pharmaceutical Name: Radix Cynachi Atrati
