Scenes from the Eastern Woodlands
A Virtual Tour ~ Circa 1550
Where would you like to go?
Bathing ourselves at the stream ... you will see my mother and my other little sister. The rocks make a convenient place where the water is a little deeper, and you can see bullrush reeds (that we use to make our fine woven mats for the insides of our wigwams) growing in the shallow muddy areas on the shore. On the far bank are our moccasins, wrap-around skirts, and mother's tunic. The little sister sleeps in her elaborately carved and painted cradleboard, propped securely up against the rocks. We left our twined woven bags there on the far bank too, that we were using to gather some river plants for food and medicine. |
