Alpine Bistort is used in several ways by Inuit.
Before flowering small red beads, called Sapangaralaannguat, grow on the long flower stems. These are edible, but also used for games by children, or sewn into pouches as 'stress sacks' to play with in the hands.
The rhizome or root is edible and nutritious, and can be eaten raw or cooked.
