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.

40374 | Tilia americana L. 3959 | Ojibwa 173 | smith32 20 | 422 | Fiber 4 | Cordage 99 | Tough, fibrous bark of young trees furnished ready cordage and string. The women stripped the bark and peeled the outer edge from the inner fiber with their teeth. The rolls were then kept in coils or were boiled and kept as coils until needed, being soaked again when used, to make them pliable. While there were countless uses for this cordage, perhaps the most important was in tying the poles together for the framework of the wigwam or medicine lodge. When these crossings of poles were lashed together with wet bark fiber, it was easy to get a tight knot which shrank when dry and made an even tighter joint. The bark of an elm or a balsam, cut into broad strips was then sewed into place on the framework with basswood string. An oak wood awl was used to punch holes in the bark, but Smith notes that, when they made his wigwam, they used an old file end for an awl. He reports that he lived in this new wigwam all the time he was among the Pillager Ojibwe and scarcely a night passed without a group of them visiting him and sitting around the campfire, telling old time stories. | Smith, Huron H., 1932, Ethnobotany of the Ojibwe Indians, Bulletin of the Public Museum of Milwaukee 4:327-525, page 422 |

The fiber was then formed into a ball and made into twine. | Sparkman, Philip S., 1908, The Culture of the Luiseno Indians, University of California Publications in American Archaeology and Ethnology 8(4):187-234, page 202 |

The fiber was rolled on the thigh to produce cordage; its many uses testified to its natural strength and durability. | Bean, Lowell John and Katherine Siva Saubel, 1972, Temalpakh (From the Earth); Cahuilla Indian Knowledge and Usage of Plants, Banning, CA.

27020 | Picea glauca (Moench) Voss 2934 | Tanana, Upper 255 | k85 36 | 2 | Fiber 4 | Cordage 99 | Split or whole roots used to make line. Spruce roots were dug by hand or with an axe, preferably from a tree that was not crowded by other trees. The roots of a tree growing in an open place were less likely to be entangled with the roots of other trees and were therefore easier to dig. Spruce roots in moist ground where moss grows were also easier to gather than those found in dry soil. Before using spruce roots, the Upper Tanana peeled the bark off by hand or with a knife. After peeling them, they sometimes dyed them by boiling berries and soaking the roots in the juice. Spruce roots could be dried for future use but must be soaked in water to make them pliable before being used. They could be dug anytime during the year when the ground was not frozen. | Kari, Priscilla Russe, 1985, Upper Tanana Ethnobotany, Anchorage. Alaska Historical Commission, page 2 |
