Description
Arrow-brush is extensively used by the tribes of this region as a covering for their houses. In earlier time they lived in circular houses constructed of a framework of heavy poles covered with arrow-brush and coated with mud. In many of the modern rectangular houses, also, the arrow-brush is used, bound together closely with witches, and plastered on the outside with adobe.
