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 fern 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 contact Bud Lane at 800-
922-1399, ext. 1320, or 541-444-8320; or
budl@ctsi.nsn.us.
Just a reminder – basket materials
must be gathered in a timely fashion. Here
is a general breakdown of gathering times
