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:

Fir sticks, spruce roots, bear grass,
maidenhair fern, hazel sticks (lim-
ited), willow sticks

Here is a cool and refreshing salad to
enjoy on a hot summer day.
Slice the cucumber lengthwise,
remove the seeds, and slice thinly. Thinly
slice the onion.
In a colander, toss the cucumber and
onion with the salt and let it sit and drain
for 20 minutes. Press the liquid out of the
vegetables and rinse well with cold water.
In a medium bowl, combine the
vinegar and sugar and stir well. Add the
cucumber mixture and toss to coat. Stir in
the dill. Best if served chilled.
