Basketry
"Sweetgrass" baskets
have been made by Seminole Indians for more than 60 years. The wild sweetgrass
used in these beautiful, sturdy creations is hand-picked from high, dry
areas of the Everglades basin, washed, laid in the sun to dry and sewn
together with colored threads. Palmetto fiber is the usual basket base
material. The baskets may take many different shapes. Sweetgrass baskets
are available at the Marketplace,
