RE: Fascinating First Nations Basket Weaving
I have a basket made by an old Ojibwe woman 30 years ago. She was going to quit making them because the young men of the Tribe traditionally would gather the willow and pound it until it separated into strips. She said the boys were to lazy now to gather the willow for her baskets.
oh wow, and oh no! lol. That's so interesting but also disappointing. I'd gather the willow for her and pound it! Does the basket have a pattern? How you doing today? I've been out working all day and been running in and commenting every once in awhile!
