Time to gather basket-making materials is here
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.

By Tiffany Stuart
Nayson Tooya and I enjoyed a presentation by Astronaut Wendy Lawrence on March
16 at the University of Oregon.
Nayson attentively listened to her talking and showing pictures. She talked about
her experience and what is up-and-coming for space exploration.
For example, companies are investing in science experiments in space because it
takes half the time to make the product in space. Also, companies are launching mini-
satellites and working with NASA.
When it came time for questions at the end of the lecture, Nayson raised his little
hand in the huge university lecture hall. He asked Mrs. Lawrence if there was cake in
space. The people in the room chuckled (so did Nay and I) and Mrs. Lawrence, with a
smile on her face, said there was not cake in space but she wishes there was.
This was an hour presentation, and Nay and many children in the crowd were glued to
every word just like the university students were. After we left, Nayson said he wants to be
an astronaut, police officer and pilot. I say to Nayson and all children - reach for the stars!
