Considered sacred, this tobacco is an important medicinal plant for First Nations, and is used in numerous rituals.
Mentions of this tobacco date back to 1807, according to the 1897 W.M Ewing & cie’s catalogue. In Quebec, the Small Canadian tobacco has been grown for over a century. As early as 1884, it became commercialized by the J. O. Forest factory in Saint-Roch-de-L’Achigan.
