Description
Women
, with the
help
of
men
,
collected
bark
from
cedar
trees
,
taking
only
three
strips
from the
north
side
of the
tree
. The
women
separated
the
two
layers
of
bark
,
leaving
the
heavy
outer
bark
in the
forest
. The
smooth
inner
bark
was
folded
and
taken
back
to the
village
. The
strips
were
soaked
in
water
to
remove
the
pitch
, and then
dried
completely
for
storage
. To
prepare
the
bark
for
weaving
,
it
was
pounded
to
break
the
fibers
and
separate
them,
after
which
the
fibers
were
hand-rolled
into
strands
. The
women
then
wove
the
cedar
strands
,
sometimes
with
mountain
goat
hair
, on a
half
loom
,
creating
cloaks
,
garments
and
other
objects
,
such
as
baskets
.

Notes
There
is
a
tear
