    Those are such amazing examples of the people’s artistry and ingenuity!

    In my area, the Yurok, Karuk, Wiyot, and Hupa people have used spruce roots for the warp of the basket and beargrass or many other plant fibers for the weft. My grandma was taught by the older ladies in the Yurok tribe when she married and had my aunt with a member.

    You can line cloaks/ponchos with it as well to stop your inner layers getting wet

    I’ve always believed that Indigenous tribes around the World are Guardians of Our Earth and deserve to be left alone and respected 🙏.

    Auromoblie water bags from the 1910s were made of densely sown canvas that wouldn’t leak either

    In Somalia, they traditionally use baskets to transport milk. Just before putting the milk in the basket,they put something burning inside the basket for a moment, sterilizing the basket. Somali tea, drunk with milk and sugar, therefore tastes smoky.

  29. @pistolpunkin on October 17, 2025 at 12:02 am

    Some of us plains Natives used such bark to have as bags to carry things. We used the sinew from buffalo, Elk, deer, etc… as thread. Then made our baskets to carry so many things. Always remember if you take from the land you give back.

  30. @skeletonking4119 on October 17, 2025 at 12:04 am

    That’s one of thousands reasons the native wasn’t savages !! Unlike the European who invaded them savagely !

  31. @damitakerns2693 on October 17, 2025 at 12:04 am

    The part where he says, Beautiful Water-resistant hats….I thought that was someone’s neck with tattoos. That’s pretty tight weaving.

  45. @travisjohnson5369 on October 17, 2025 at 12:25 am

    So coolCan’t wait for the next video.Thank you😊😊😊

  46. @arosefortes6507 on October 17, 2025 at 12:25 am

    Wow! I find it amazing the things that were done back then. All of the steps and lengthy process that were taken to get the end results of an item is amazing! It makes one question how did they know that this and that needed to be done to achieve these results? If you asked the elders the answers for most things were the same, "The sky people or the Gods taught us." It can’t be just a coincidence. Some processes are so methodical and precise, like a Japanese teapot for instance, it’s mesmerizing to watch! In the end result, is a beautiful sea green colored teapot! 😊

  47. @maik0pl on October 17, 2025 at 12:25 am

    That’s what people used to carry water in back in the day, kept it cold even in the middle of a desert

  48. @LagMar100 on October 17, 2025 at 12:26 am

    Doope! Traditional Indigenous Technology

  49. @froschreiniger2639 on October 17, 2025 at 12:27 am

    Why dont they just use ceramics? They are so easy and cheap to make with even the most primitive tools.

  50. @Meriem-f7i1c on October 17, 2025 at 12:30 am

    I love Indigenous people from all over the world
