As told by Lee Nelson White Deer Tamarack
A Tamarack was found growing upon the site of an archeological dig near Oraibi. When they had dug down to the fourth layer, the forth city built upon city, the Tamarack was growing there, up through all the layers above.  The tree is so strong, you can peel off the bark nearly halfway around and it won't even wilt, it'll just send its sap around the other side of the tree.
