- Cedar Basket Weaver - Frances Jackson
|
|
Canada - Northern |
- I was born in old Hazelton
in 1941. I am Fire Weed
clan of the Gitksan Nation. I
spent half of my
life at the North Pacific
Cannery in Port Edward, BC
and the other half back in
Hazelton.
I remember going out with
my great grandmother at a
very young age to strip
cedar bark. She used to dry
huckleberries on cedar
mats that would fit inside
the cedar bentboxes. She
would alternate four layers
of berries and mats to fill
the boxes to dry the berries
for the winter. That was my
first memory of cedar
weaving.

- Twined Basketry - JulieMarden
|
Wampanoag |
US - Northeast |
- Twined basketry was once widely practiced throughout the northeast, but since the 19th century declined due to the widespread adoption of woodsplint basketry. Twining is known from only a small sampling of surviving baskets and archaeological fragments. The traditional materials used included corn husks, grasses, rushes, bark fibers, and cordage made from native plants such as milkweed, dogbane (Indian hemp), and false nettle.
