The brush was used in the following ways: (1) to clean out the bedrock mortar hole before tobacco leaves were pounded and to remove the pulverized tobacco afterwards--a usage that probably applied to other materials--(2) to sweep fine meal off the sifting tray; (3) to brush the hair--an old brush must be used for this purpose or 'the hair ends will split'--and (4) when wet, to scrub things clean. | Zigmond, Maurice L., 1981, Kawaiisu Ethnobotany, Salt Lake City.

The loose fibers were cut to the right length and hardened by burning the ends. | Weber, Steven A. and P. David Seaman, 1985, Havasupai Habitat: A. F.
