Cattails are a familar sight along the shore of any marsh, pond, lake, or river. All parts of the plant are edible. American Indians prepared the different parts in many ways. The leaves were used to weave baskets, chair seats and mats. The fluffy seeds were used as insulation for pillows and coats. Quinsam River, Vancouver Island, BC. Canada
