I think the Cree and Blackfoot sometimes used our native Green Ash for bows. The latin name is Fraxus Pennsylvanica .

Our native mountain ash is from a different family and not a true ash and is called Mountain Ash (Rowan) the latin name is
Sorbus aucuparia . I know some sources say it is ok for bows but I am doubtful ... hey I could be wrong
