Hazel stick gathering is a must for anyone interested in making traditional Siletz baskets. Spruce root can be dug all year round and is used for the weavers or weft of Siletz baskets. Bear grass and maidenhair fem are used for overlay to make our traditional designs or marks in our baskets and both are picked in late summer.
