Extras

"Tell us about the first basket you sold, Kaya," asks Josephine. She and Ralph know the story, but they both love to hear it over and over.
"Oh, yes!  I was about ten years old," Kaya chuckles. "That basket ws a tqayas (T kye yahs). Really looked good, too. I made it with cattail leaves, bear-grass, and cedar bark. And I wined in a design, those little woolly dogs. I made them with cedar bark dyed black."
