| About this scrapbook page: |
Lots of people have seen quill work, beading and other Native or Aboriginal art forms but Birch Bark Biting is very rare and very beautiful. My husband's band in Northern Saskatchewan has many talented crafts people and the traditional crafts and languages are slowly making a come back with young people.

If I were a bird, I would be a seagull. If I had to push a cry, it would not be that of the seagull! If I had a lot of money, I would buy a new car. If I had this car, I certainly would regret the old one. If I had the opportunity to travel I would probably regret not to be disappeared earlier. If I went to a distant country, I would spend much time in your gallery to dream of it during my trip.

Wow, we did different things with Birch bark as kids, but I've never heard of Bark Biting! We used it for paper mostly. Great page!

we used to do that with birch trees too ... we did. I remember doing that as a small child (7 or 8 years old) Daddy told us how in the old days they would use birch to clean their teeth and he taught us what the birch trees looked like -- your page brought back good memories of my Dad.
