43813 | Yucca baccata Torr. 4225 | Havasupai 89 | ws85 2 | 212 | Fiber 4 | Cordage 99 | Leaf fiber braided into ropes. The leaves contained a good fiber. The terminal spine and a section of the back of the leaf were removed and pounded to free this fiber from the fleshy portion of the leaf. The fiber was often braided into rope, three to six ply, from twelve to thirty feet long that were used for many purposes, including handling horses. | Weber, Steven A. and P.

40014 | Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don 3951 | Hesquiat 92 | te82 41 | 35 | Fiber 4 | Cordage 99 | Very long, straight branches or withes used to make ropes. For large ropes, such as those used in whaling, the entire branch would be used. For smaller ropes, the withes were split off into three parts: the heartwood would be removed and the outer part twisted into rope. Branches used for such ropes would be five to eight cm. in diameter. Hesquiat cedar ropes were quite famous and were often traded to other tribes. The large ropes were used long ago as whale-hunting lines, anchor lines, and binding lines for tying on house planks or tying together one's effects when moving. | Turner, Nancy J. and Barbara S.
