In this hands-on workshop, we will explore a sampling of traditional skills, crafts, and knowledge common to eastern woodlands Indigenous communities. Participants will process plant fibers into cordage, and shape wampum from quahog clam shells. Additional methods and mediums including porcupine quillwork and cornhusk basketmaking may be explored as time allows. This course complements Susquehanna Indigenous Communities Past, Present and Future in Pd. 1. Participants are encouraged to take both classes, for a deeper experience.
