Native Plants – Millennium Plaza
Red Cedar
The bark provided baskets to carry roots, berries, or other materials. These baskets were easy to make by cutting bark directly from the tree. Cedar boughs were used to keep insects away.
Huckleberries
The fruit was dried and the leaves were used for medicinal purposes.
Sagebrush
The plentiful sagebrush has many different uses: medicinal, cleansing and religious.
Wild Rose
The leaves and rose hips were used for medicinal purposes, the stems for the hoop on a cradleboard.
