MAKING CLOTH-
Most ALL the Coastal Tribes and Inland valleys knew the art of drawing inner cedar bark over sharp edged paddles to shred it down to the point they could make watertight clothing. The climate was such that heavy fur clothing was seldom worn and the cedar clothing filled their needs for wet weather or chill.
 
 

 

This  carving has been donated to The Native American Youth and Family Center, Portland, Oregon (NAYA). The Center may be able to obtain the equipment (benches, band saw and hand carving tools) so I can teach the Youth to carve. They would need sponsors for this program.

If you like my work and would be interested in helping make this happen email Nicole Maher (nicholem@nayapdx.org), mention you are writing about the Project for Art McKellips to Teach the Youth Carving.
