This is the original and most complete blog because I can do slideshows on blogspot, but not on WordPress.com (unless I install it on my domain - which I haven't). So, if readers like the WordPress format better, I would consider upgrading and making it the "official blog site on my domain". Until then, I am playing around with a new format on WordPress. See my Montana Adventures Blog at WordPress and give me some feedback.

Sierra Footsteps of the Me-Wuk Tribe - Northern California

A Mewuk cooking basket that has seen much use
On July 9-12 my friend, Nancy, and I participated in a workshop with the Me-Wuk tribe in northern California. On my Picasa photo site are photos of workshop members making baskets, digging sticks, acorn processing, soaproot brush making and more.

On the last morning of the workshop, Gladys McKinney, Jennifer Bates, Kimberly Stevenot, Arvada Fisher, and Kathy Wallace talked with us about customs, materials, tools, designs, processes and much more. There are a lot of photos, but these baskets, etc are the real deal. So, enjoy!
