From the giant cedar of the rainforest came a wealth of raw materials vital to the way of life, art and culture of the early First Nations people of the Northwest Coast.

All parts of the cedar tree had many uses. From the wood, skilled men made ocean-going canoes, massive post-and- beam houses, monumental carved poles that declared history, rights and lineage, and powerful dance masks. Women dextrously wove the inner bark into mats and baskets, plied it into ocordage and netting or processed it into soft, warn, water-repellent clothing. They also made the strong withes into heavy-duty rope and wove the roots into watertight baskets.

Hilary Stewart explains, through her vivid descriptions, 550 detailed drawings and 50 photographs, the tools and techniques used, as well as the superbly crafted objects and their uses--all in the context of daily and ceremonial life. Anecdotes, oral history and the accounts of early explorers, traders, missionaries and native elders highlight the text.

Great Chew Toy for Daily Play
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue, Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My dog absolutely loves this toy. From the first moment he grabbed it, he wouldn’t stop playing with it. He chews on it, runs around with it, and even sleeps with it sometimes. What I like most is how durable it is — even with constant biting, pulling, and chewing, it hasn’t broken or shown any damage. The material feels strong but still safe for him to chew. The texture also seems to keep him entertained because it massages his gums while he plays. It’s lightweight, easy for him to carry, and the shape makes it fun for both chewing and tossing. This toy has become one of his favorites, and I’m really happy with the quality. I would definitely recommend it for dogs who love to chew.

Longest lasting toy in our toy box
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My German shepherd/Austrian shepherd mix destroys toys very quickly. This is his longest lasting toy that he actually uses and still has no visible signs of destruction.

Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
my puppy shreds every "indestructible" toy I give to her instantly. she's had one for months and it is only missing a corner of it, so I bought a spare. it also smells like food. she loves it.

These were challenges for my aggressive chewers! Quality ingredients.
Pattern Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 6 Inch (Pack of 15)
My dogs absolutely love these and the hardness keeps them busy for a while. The package comes with various thickness of sticks. The thinnest ones only last for 5-10 minutes, but the thickest ones take 3-5 hours. The top end varies as it totally depends on the dogs' energy levels at the time. I'm not crazy about the smell of peanut butter and was happy to find these to be more woodsy with a faint peanut odor. My dogs get super excited as soon as they see the bag! My two dogs are different breeds, but both small to medium in size (32-40 pounds). I was worried about choking and the digestion of these. This is the second month and we haven't had a single issue.
