Native Americans boiled the twigs and bark from maple trees to make a deep black dye. The wood was used to make bowls, war clubs, arrows and tools. Various Indian tribes gathered the inner bark of maple trees, dried the strips, then pounded it into a flour used in making bread.
The Sugar Maple produces a sugary sap. One tree can yield as high as thirty-three pounds of sap. Syrup can be made from closely-related species as well, but their syrup is not as sweet. Indian tribes could have used the sap as a sweetener for their food.
