Kinietz, V. 1938 Use - Technology 

"mukōāpineek are very large roots of the "pond lily", and require much preparation. A hole is dug in the ground in which rocks are placed and heated with a fire on top of them. When the fire is done, dry moss is placed over the heated stones and the roots thrown in and covered with grass or moss, bark, water added and then earth covering the top. It is left for five days and then the roots are removed, cut into small pieces, dried on a small scaffold and used later. They are good for a year this way. When used, they are added to a batch of soup before the meat is done cooking." 

Kinietz, V. 1938 Use - Technology 

Used in orienteering when traveling cross-country, along with stream courses and stream size, and the sun.
