Use Their Teeth

the Cree Indian women in this northern area practise an ancient lndianjhandicraft. they really get their teeth into it.

They're hoping the old method will earn some tourist dollars. The women use their teeth to make patterns on birch bark. The patterned bark adds a decorative touch when glued to various ar- ticles. i Their ancestors in this area 400 miles northwest of Winnipeg on the Saskatchewan - Manitoba bor- der. used the art to decorate ordi- nary household articles.

with an expanding tourlam in the area however. the Indian wo- men have found a profitable out- let for their handicraft by selling articles to tourists.

NATURAL DESIGN!

Mrs. Angelique Merasity. con- sidered a master of the nativei craft. draws the themes of her de- signs from what she sees around her at her island home on the edge of thick bushland.

She does designs of leaves and flowers. an owl sitting on a stump or tree. or forest animals.

Basket-Weaving ls Dying Out

CHILLIWACK. B.C. (CPV -- In- dians on Seabird Island. a small piece of land near Harrison Lake 60 miles northeast of Vancouver, are having a hard time keeping the old art of basket-weaving from dying out.
