Blair,
Interesting the possible Catawba correlates with Biloxi: naoNde, 'today' (related to Catawba 'sun, moon'?) and cake, 'hand' (related to Catawba 'touch'?)
The D-S Biloxi dict has no entry, by the way, for sunflower.

Bob,
The Catawba word is 'nuNti:cak 'sunflower' ('nuNti: 'sun, moon' + cak 'touch').
