It was important because it had a variety of uses. Specifically, the bark was used for things like rope, clothing, baskets, and medicine. They would even use chunks of bark to cover the top of the house, just like how we use shingles to cover our houses. The logs were used for canoes, long houses, and totem poles. The wood could be used for things like clothing, and tools, such as arrow shafts, masks, and paddles. It was known as being a very sacred tree, also called the "Tree of Life."
