It is recorded throughout history that Native Americans frequently used the Tamarack tree for various wood working and medicinal purposes. The needles were recorded to be made into a tea and used as an astringent. This tea was also drank to treat dysentery and diarrhea. The Gum from the Tamarack Sap was chewed for indigestion. The inner bark of the Tamarack was finely chopped and applied to burns to assist in healing. The wood was not only burned for firewood, but crafted into canoes, and snow shoes.
Tha Tamarack tree was a very useful resource to the early Native Americans.
