History: The Elderberry Shrub has two main species. Sambucus nigra is a native of Europe, while Sambucus canadensis is a native of North America. In Europe, the medicinal use of Elderberry can be traced back to the Stone age and was associated with magic and spirits. In North America, Elderberry shrubs are found near streams and ponds. Native Americans, including the Illinois-Miami, Onondaga, Iroquois, Seneca, Menomini, Potawatami, Malecite, and MicMac tribes, used both the berries and the flower as a food and medicine.
