CRAFT FOCUS: MAKING HORN UTENSILS

ImageHORN UTENSILS
Like peoples across the world, Native Americans had needs for basic utensils, and, as was their custom, they turned to nature for materials. In those days, the eating of soups or mush was facilitated by two utensils: a serving ladle and an individual eating spoon. There was also the need for drinking vessels. Indians used horns from buffalo, mountain sheep, and, eventually, cows to make these utensils, in addition to carving some out of wood. The photo at right shows a basic ladle and a ladle with a carved crane's head. The accompanying Craft-E Crow article has basic information to help you make any of these articles.
