Can you eat sagebrush

I was wondering the same thing, and I found this answer on another web site and here it is (copied and pasted): "The pungent and fragrant smelling sagebrush is one of the most important herbs to Native Americans. Sagebrush has a multitude of uses. Besides being used in the ceremonies for purification purposes held by the different tribes, Nevada Indians used the plant for shelter, the fiber for clothing, dye and medicine. The leaves are edible and are used to make a tea."
