Time to gather basketry materials
Summer is here and it’s time
to continue gathering materials for
Siletz baskets.
Hazel stick gathering is a must
for anyone interested in making tradi
tional 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 tradi
tional designs or marks in our baskets
and both are picked in late summer.
Any Tribal members interested
in gathering can call Bud Lane at
800-922-1399, ext. 1320, or 541 -444-
8320, or e-mail budl@ctsi.nsn.us. Just
a reminder - basket materials must be
gathered in a timely fashion.
Here is a general breakdown
of gathering times for different
materials:

Fir sticks, spruce roots, bear
grass, maidenhair fem, hazel sticks
(limited), willow sticks
