The name "Adirondack", an [[Iroquois]] word that means tree-eater, referred to their neighbors (more commonly known as the [[Algonquian peoples|Algonquians]]) who collected the inner bark of ''P. strobus'', ''[[Picea rubens]]'', and others during times of winter starvation. The white, soft inner bark (cambial layer) was carefully separated from the hard, dark brown bark and dried. When pounded, this product can be used as flour or added to stretch other starchy products.[{{cite web |url=http://herb.umd.umich.edu/herb/search.pl?searchstring=Pinus+strobus |title=Pinus strobus |website=Native American Ethnobotany, University of Michigan – Dearborn) |access-date=2013-01-13 |archive-date=2013-05-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130525055404/http://herb.umd.umich.edu/herb/search.pl?searchstring=Pinus+strobus |url-status=live }}][{{cite book |last1=Fernald |first1=M. |first2=A. |last2=Kinsey |first3=R. |last3=Rollins |date=1943 |title=Edible Wild Plants |publisher=Harper & Row |location=New York}}] |
