“While harvesting the textile materials, roots, berries…we are rekindling the connection to our ancestors and the environment. We experience gathering, processing the raw materials in places our ancestors once stood. We experience the joy, serenity, the sweet smell of the earth, fresh mountain air, and the ocean breeze”. Linda J. Paisano 2005 Nez Perce
