Lifeways Workshop: Two-Day Plateau Basketry Workshop

Basketry is often used in cultural ceremonies, giveaways, births, name-givings, first-food gatherings, weddings, funerals, memorials and other events. Long ago, basket making was only done in the wintertime. Elders are usually the ones who teach the younger generations. Although basketry is primarily made by women, many men also learn the skills of basketry. This is an authentic, Coeur d’Alene Tribal member-guided workshop.
