The Honey Lake Paiute were known as the Wadatkut, i.e. “wada eaters” for the eating of the seeds of Suaede depressa. Its common name is seepweed. It likes alkaline moist soil, which certain segments near Honey Lake thrives, especially near Amedee. When the seeds begin to ripen in August the plant takes on a pinkish hue. I have seen this plant all the time, but never knew its name or its significance.
