Time to Gather Basket-Making
Materials
Spring is here and very soon hazel
sticks will be ready to pick and peel.
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.
Any tribal members interested
in gathering can call Bud Lane at
541-444-8320 or 1-800-922-1399,
ext. 1320, or e-mail budl@ctsi.nsn.us.
Just a reminder - basket materials must
be gathered in a timely fashion.
Lynn Whitlow, Sue Eatherley, Maria Westervelt, Debby Fawver, and Kathryn
Stewart attend a meth summit for Lincoln County residents at Salishan Lodge
in May. Residents were shown how to spot and track illegal activity, and how to
work with the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) and local police
departments to get rid of drug activity in their neighborhoods.
Here is a general breakdown of
gathering times for different materials:
July - Fir sticks, spruce roots, bear
grass, maidenhair fem
August - Fir sticks, spruce roots, bear
grass, maidenhair fem, hazel sticks
(limited), willow sticks
September - Bear grass, maidenhair
fem, woodwardia fem, spruce roots
Many residents from Siletz and the surrounding area attended the follow-up
meeting to the countywide meth summit. A second meeting took place June 30
to discuss such things as the effects of methamphetamine use
and Neighborhood Watch groups.
