Meet the Instructor: As a Jamestown S'Klallam Tribal Elder, I am known for my expertise in Coast Salish western red cedar basket weaving. Like my Ancestors before me, each season, I look forward to teaching sustainable harvest techniques to help preserve our native materials for future weavers. I enjoy teaching cedar bark weaving to continue our weaving traditions. My work has been exhibited at the Jefferson Museum of Art & History, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribal Library, the Northwinds Arts Center in Port Townsend, The Evergreen State College Native exhibit in the college’s Longhouse, the Washington State History Museum, the Jefferson County Library, the Peninsula College ʔaʔk̓ʷustəƞáwt̓xʷ House of Learning Longhouse, and the Indian Craft Shop in the Department of Interior in Washington, D.C.
