Bark Cloth Making, Netting and Art
Bark Cloth Making and Netting
I put the two processes of bark cloth making and netting together, as being the only forms in which material is made in pieces of substantial size.
Bark cloth is used for making perineal bands, men’s caps, illness-recovery capes, bark cloth head strings, mourning strings and dancing aprons and ribbons. Netting is used for fishing and hunting nets, sleeping hammocks, the various forms of carrying bags and the mourning vests worn by the widows of chiefs.
