What did sunflowers look like when the first nation people where around?

When First Nation peoples were around, sunflowers were likely smaller and less diverse than the cultivated varieties we see today. They were primarily wildflowers, native to North America, and had been used by Indigenous peoples for food, oil, and medicinal purposes. Early sunflowers had smaller heads and fewer seeds, but over time, they were selectively bred for larger, more productive forms. This cultivation process has contributed to the vibrant, tall sunflowers we recognize today.
