Both are dense, and would “sink” to lower levels of any stream/river alluvial system. Both become very shiny and reflective in water, naturally attractive to the human eye. While gold is relatively inert and retains the same color, jade has differing colors depending on the stage of oxidation and impurities. White jade ar- tifacts from Slovenia were cherished by their people. Green, white, red and purple jade was prized by Asiatic cultures. Green jade was prized by Central and South American cultures. The single anomaly in North America is that it ap- pears no specific rocks were singled out by Great Basin inhabitants. The rocks were simply not attractive to ancient cultures in North America. Here, it appears there was no interest whatsoever in gold or jade. In fact, it ap- pears there were no specific rock types that were cher- ished or rendered into jewelry or other items.

It is clear that mankind Bryan Weed. experimented with different rocks to make tools and projectile points. Availability of certain rocks was and is a direct function of location. Looking through the collec- tions, we see points and tools made of basalt, obsidian, chert, agate, quartz, opal, chalcedony and probably some more rocks that I don’t remember. Through time, it has the appearance that early man learned how to improve the tools and points by choosing better rocks to work with – by choosing rocks that could be easily altered into a useable and stable form. In this manner, it appears that the crudest formed points were made of basalt. As mankind experimented with other rock types, they found rocks that had a conchoidal fracture pattern were the best to use for construction of the needed points. The best rock here is obsidian – a fast-cooled volcanic rock. But chert and agates were right behind in ease of construction. The Great Basin collections have some spectacular Paiute Chief Mark Jones performs the Spirit Dance with points and tools constructed of what modern-day man the Pyramid Lake Paiute Dancers at Nixon, Nevada to pray would call semi-precious stone.

Fred: Traditions for our family are all newer, driven in part by modern society. Some traditions are driven around the Bible, such as Christmas. Another is based upon the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving. At my house, we have two other big traditions, a gathering of our friends for talk, food and music at the beginning of spring and end of summer, which also coincide with another tradition in western cultures – birthdays.

6 Traditional Foods: Norm: almost a gender separation- women generally stay in camp for food prep, men to hunt, but not always this way. Traditional camps, gathering foods, utilitarian utensils such as cooking baskets, food preparation, serv- ing baskets, tools- knives, scrapers, stone grinding rocks. Winnowing trays, flour sifters, seed beaters, pine nut burden baskets, open winnowing trays. Mush boilers. Camas lilies – fields of purple. The bulbs were staple foods. Massive fields were destroyed by cattle grazing. This photo was taken near Truckee, 1997. Photo by Charlie Winnemucca, son of Lee Winnemucca, grandson of Robin Holabird. Chief Winnemucca.

It is completely different ably not be a natural result of human expansion. from white man’s process. It is an acknowledgement of the generations. When we went into white man’s way, we started to lose our generational identity. Fred: Family identity for us is difficult. Robin’s par- ents were raised by grandparents or were orphaned. Little is known of the background, except French and French Canadian. When we were in Quebec, she looks natural there. My family is a combo of English and Irish, but that’s about 200-300 or more years ago. We don’t know the source of the surname.

We’ve placed our rough respective family trees at the end of this essay for cultural comparisons. As a final note, it becomes important to bring to the forefront the political systems under which we live today. In one respect, we have no control over this. In another respect, it is us, the voters, who have control. But at some point the government agencies become an overwhelming being. This is certainly the subject of much discussion in today’s world. On the other hand, we choose to live here. We, Norm and I, choose to live in the Great Basin. We choose to be part of this culture. Native lands are mostly gone.

Basket Making as a Tradition By Norm Delorme (sixth generation basket weaver). Northern Paiute/Washoe. Basket making is a connection to the land. Grandma always said you had to have “strong eyes, strong hands and strong teeth.” It’s a lifestyle. There has to be a rever- ence to a natural environment. There has to be a strong respect. An offering to the plants, a prayer for my time Grandma said “making a basket should be fun”. Many people see basket weaving as a task. Its not a task, its fun. Grandma was always singing, humming and talking to people. It’s a socialization process. I believe the old spirits are watching me and I ask for their prayer of approval permission, recognition Networking. Generational flow of knowledge, pass- ing it on. Tradition. There are almost no break in the weaving and use of the items. We need help. Family and friends come into play. People help each other. Gather- ing, weaving How to weave.

The “start” of the basket is important. It is called the navel or belly button. It is the beginning of the creation of the basket. Determine the size of the bottom or base. Then the sides or shape of he basket, then the shoulders (determining the size); the neck, the rim (mouth). Its like personifying the basket into a being. It’s a body form. Have all the right tools for weaving and a container for the tools (weaving kit- awl, knives, razor blades) to trim and size the material. Be meticulous in your work. Some are more rugged than others. Basketmaking utilized not only tools, but fingers and teeth to strip, size and work willows and plants. Collection of Willow stems at the Truckee River.

Baskets Basketmaking is a Network of family. It’s not just one weaver like out on the Santa Fe railroad, as old post cards would lead you to believe- it is a community and family thing, where groups of family weave and bead. Reality is that family will go out to the resources and cut the red bud, and other things- the whole family- hus- band, sons, etc. supports the family making money- bas- kets made for sale! The network is a lot bigger than most people under- stand or consider. You gotta think about community. The Anglo concept is “she did it all by themselves”, it wasn’t that way.
