Chia (Salvia columbariae) is a native to Joshua Tree National Park. It is known by many names: paanihac (Serrano), pasal (Cahuilla), pashal (Luiseño), ‘ilépesh (Barbareño Chumash), and nulh’amulh (Kumeyaay). Chia’s tiny seeds offer an important Native American traditional energy food. Historical accounts relate that a teaspoonful of chia seeds could sustain a person in a trek across the desert.
