[Wikipedia] Indigenous Peoples Uses: Indigenous peoples of California use the plant in traditional medicine, basket making, hunting bows, building materials, and to produce fire by friction.[13] A Northern California tribe used branchlets to filter out sand from water when leaching toxins from acorn meal; foliage also served as a flavoring.[9] The Maidu Concow tribe name for the plant is hö'-tä (Konkow language).[14] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
