Description
From the back cover:
Childhood summers in the 1930s -- a secret lake in the Wisconsin North Country, the Chippewa Indian boys who live nearby. The ingredients of this book are taken from memories of the author's unique childhood: a growing-up time that was rich in the experiences of outdoor life and crafts. The skills and knowledge she shares with us come from a lifetime spent in making fine things from the offerings of the woods and fields.
Instructions on how to make pine needle baskets, clay pots, rush mats, and 30 more crafts are included. More valuable still are the recollections, family stories, and subtle lessons on how to be outdoors responsibly. This is a book to help any child begin to understand our relationship with the native land and the joy that awaits us there.
