"They would get a cedar tree and they’d cut them and then they’d cut strips in the bark and bring it down. And once they do that then they take and kind of strip it and they get it up so far and then they can just pull it and the whole bark comes out and then they can soak it so they can bend it in water."
Levina Wilkins, Yakama
