I sat on a stinging nettle a few years ago when I had a mostly outdoor job. Now I am an expert in identifying them.

Imagine the indigenous person hungry enough to figure that out.

That’s an interesting question. I can’t even imagine it was hunger as even kgs of green leaves won’t satiate a family’s hunger. Maybe it was an attempt at checking if the plant could cure when cooked? Maybe it was believed that all stinging and poisonous plants had magical properties? Who knows.
