[Wikipedia] Ethnobotany: This willow has many uses for Native Americans; the branches are used as flexible poles and building materials, the smaller twigs are used to make baskets, the bark is made into cord and string, and the bark and leaves have several medicinal uses. The Zuni people take an infusion of the bark for coughs and sore throats. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
