I am writing in response to the article about Native Basket makers having to get permits to harvest materials for their baskets. I sincerely hope this rule does not go into effect. How many micro-managed rules do we need? This Native traditions is something that should be honored, something we should all be proud of, for the baskets are a beauty created with a consciousness to the planet. These women harvest only what they need and do not leave a negative footprint. We should all be using them as an example of how to live and create. Our new administration says it is an advocate for CHANGE, for GREEN ENERGY, for a new CONSCIOUSNESS. Let us begin by understanding the spiritual traditions of our Native Sisters.
Sincerely, Mediha Saliba Burnt Ranch
