A flintknapper was a trade name for someone who made flints for flintlock rifles. All the best flints still come from there. One of my old professors and a dear friend, Leslie Norris (the Welsh poet), brought me home a box of flint once. I don't know where he got it, but it was wonderful stuff.

The little farm I grew up on in Northern California was located atop an Indian village, and whenever we plowed, artifacts popped to the surface. I spent years wondering how they were made, until my lovely wife finally bought me some books that explained the process, including Flintknapping: Making and Understanding Stone Tools by John C. Whittaker. Flintknapping is a hobby of mine now, though I don’t spend nearly enough time on it.

What a wonderful festival; just my kind of event. I'm always fascinated by the traditions of other cultures, and I think that the Native Americans were one of the most amazing. They really knew how to work with what Mother Nature has to offer. I love the way those feathers are arranged in that first image; very artistic, indeed. And I so enjoyed, dear Kay, all the information you shared from each photo. That handmade basket is adorable. One of my favourite things about the Native Americans (First Nations in Canada) is all the talents and skills they had, and all their beautiful creations. They knew how to survive and live off the land. Love the post, Kay. Looking forward to the post about the owls and the birds of prey.

By the time that Indian woman had finished speaking with me, she had me almost convinced that I could live off the land and take care of myself if I got lost in the woods. <br />We came back later, and they had cooked the corn and squash and were taking thin strips of meat and cooking it on the hot stones.

You can find muscadines growing wild, and if you see a very long ropelike piece of wood hanging from a tree, it is most likely a very old dead muscadine vine.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-49116116740683350062012-08-27T17:36:34.345-04:002012-08-27T17:36:34.345-04:00Hey Audrey!
