- Cattail Paper

|
- TYPHA LATIFOLIA, OR THE COMMON CATTAIL, is one of ten species of a tall aquatic herb found in marshes and ponds throughout both hemispheres. Its practical usefulness has long been known the world over. Native Indians of North America ate the tender spring shoots. The long flat leaves of the cattail were woven into mats and baskets and have also been used as caning material for chairs. As children at our summer cottage we would soak the dark brown, club-like spikes in kerosene to light as torches on the beach at night.

- Cattail Sandals
|
|
|
- From the Primitive Skills Group - The sandals were made by the the bintubi(also known as Pintubi) aborigines and the technique is simple but since a picture is worth a thousand words I'll find the reference to it and you can track it down. I think it was in the Journal "Mankind" and it was written by Thomson.....Naaah I'll try and explain it.
