Description
I learned how to tan hides in the traditional manner that the Native Americans did by attending a workshop. The animals used were road kills and supplied for this event. Nothing was wasted, we learned traditional brain tanning skills and the end result was warm and soft hides which can be worn and appreciated in the winter months.
Here the hide is being scraped by my friend. I thought the expression on his face was determined and serious as was the energy it took to scrape. It will become warm and soft buckskin by the end of the weekend event. She is working with old world tools for this process. It is a long and labor some process.
