Time to go gather basket 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 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 for different materials: August Fir sticks, spruce roots, bear grass, maidenhair fern, hazel sticks (lim- ited), willow sticks Student Laptop Program applications ready for higher ed, AVT students The Tribal Central Office will accept applications for the Student Laptop Program beginning Aug. 10.
