Description
Excerpted from the website:
- An Earthskills Rendezvous History
- Earthskills Rendezvous was founded in 1985 by Robert Slack, Jr., Stephen "Snow Bear" Taylor and Darry Wood. The idea was conceived as way to preserve and promote indigenous primitive skills like making white oak baskets, foraging for wild foods, starting fire by friction and tanning deer skins with brains and smoke. The three founders eventually invited their Cherokee friends to come share their living traditions of baskets and pottery, weapons and music. From these elders we learned many wonderful things, not the least of which is about being both humble and good-humored. Some of these people are now gone from the Earth; we are grateful they passed our way, and we cherish their memory.
