11/4/18 Yucca

Yucca is native to this area. The Cliff Dwellers and Native Americans used it for many things.

Yucca roots were made into soap and shampoo. The leaves were woven together to make mats and sandals.

Those strings were used for thread and the tips of the leaves are sharp enough to use as needles. Artists also used the leaves as paint brushes!
