| Native
peoples of the Pacific Northwest have depended on the natural resources
of the coastal environment for centuries. This weekend course/workshop
explores how native people use the richness of the estuary
in their technology and foods. It will include discussions of plants
and animals with specific focus on sea mammals (notably, the sea
otter) and on plants used in basketry. We will consider the prehistoric
record; how we know what we know (about native use); and will balance
our program with lecture-discussions and activities. Native and
non-native experts will join us. The workshop includes preparations
of a native lunch on Sunday.
Students
can stay at the bunk-house for $16.50 a night; please contact roberta
hall, for more information.
More workshops are expected – See program web site for updates.
