Early
Siletz tribal members wove many intricate baskets which were both beautiful
and useful. Sturdy creations of spruce root woven over hazel switches were
often embellished with bear grass, dyed woodwardia and maidenhair fern
designs. Other baskets were made of cattails, rushes, cedar bark and even
the fine fibers of wild iris leaves. Some fifty-year-old designs remain
as bright and colorful as when they were first created.
