Oh my gosh, this brings back a funny memory for me. We are Yakama and Snoqualmie. My daughter has the typical native sense of humor and is also a bit of a smarta$$. In grade school the teacher gave the children a blank cambells soup printed on a sheet of paper for them to come up with their own soup as a simple art project. The teacher was quite appalled when Trinity (our daughter) handed her the paper with Bald Eagle Soup written on it. Of course it was a joke, and made me proud! Haha
lol yes from the outsider looking in it might look like eagle soup haha. but there is something really nice about the smell of wildlife working with sacred animal parts its very earthy. my fav is drying praire sage. but the smell of oils on feathers and bones is pretty cool too. your daughter sounds like a handful haha
@@daveerik75 yes the smells can be interesting indeed. I too love drying sage. One thing I’ve wanted to do was collect sweet grass. Soon I’ll be working on a buffalo hide I was gifted. Going to do a brain tan on it. I had to salt it and put it up for a bit while moving and trying to set up a new shop so I’m hoping that it will still accept the brain. If not I’ll have to go for a bark tan. We’ll see….
@daveerik75 I understand, I can't share pictures here. There are times they allow me to sit close with them and meditate, we take in the sunrises together
@@danh1206 yeah some moments just aren't meant to be captured on camera! i wish i had a camera that could do wildlife justice. i just use my iphone and its sucky
@daveerik75 I hear ya. I have Samsung for that very reason. It does fairly good job if you get close. My kids and wife want to get me a camera, but I told them then I'll start looking for pictures. I get some good ones from time to time when things just happen, meant to be lol
@@danh1206 if you snoop around the base of trees and bushes you might find some feathers or animal carcass to cure and make crafts from! i'm hoping to look for shed antlers this year. even a nice elk rack would be sweet
Good teachings brother

Also a crude little bald eagle was drawn and colored on it😊

She was a handful. She’s 15 now and is a pretty darn good kid though.
