neeʾdilbaigray pine, bull pine, "digger pine", ghost pinePinus sabinianathe large, sweet pine nuts are eaten; roots are used for open-twined basketry; fresh inner bark is eaten in winter scarcity; pitch used to cover wounds and as an adhesive; gum is chewed; pitch, bark, and leaves are used medicinally; pitch soot is used for tattoos; wood is little used, but sometimes used to make the hollow half log drum (Chesnut, 1902, p.307-9)
"laborious process of collecting the cones and extracting the seeds... The cones are obtained from the trees by cutting or beating them away from the branches, and the nuts are beaten out of the cones after the pitchy exudation has been removed and the scales opened by fire." (Chesnut, 1902, p.308)
"The root is warmed in hot, damp ashes, and the strands are split off before cooling. They are brittle when dry, but after being soaked in water, they are easily manipulated in the more simply woven baskets which are made by passing the strands in and out through the numerous vertical withes that make up the skeleton. They are not sufficiently pliable to be used like thread, as sedge roots are, in wrapping round and round a horizontal withe." (Chesnut, 1902, p.308)
"All kinds of soot are used in tattooing, but that from burning pine pitch is especially esteemed. The design is pricked into the skin by means of a sharpened piece of bone ... and the soot is then rubbed in thoroughly."
