I read that the Indians in New York would also dry the pine bark, grind it up into flour, and use it to make breads and pemmican. As a kid growing up in upstate New York I was pretty into "survival foods," until one day I ate Jack-in-the-pulpit shoots. The calcium oxalate it contains made it feel like I had lit my mouth on fire. That sure nipped my "survivalist" career in bud.
