Discover Ancient Pottery-Making Techniques: Collect and Process Clay and Pigments

A fascinating video has surfaced on YouTube, posted by NW Native Tracker, showcasing an intriguing scene that might pique the interest of our fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. The video appears to capture an adult teaching younger individuals about the art of clay and pigment collection, a skill traditionally passed down from female elders in certain Native American communities. The video takes us to a location where white clay is being ground, and we can see a heart stone and various pigment types being gathered. The speaker explains the process of stone grinding and pigment gathering, emphasizing the difference between rough, sandy clay and finer, porcelain-like pigment. What caught my attention was the mention of charcoal and burnt shells. In some indigenous cultures, charcoal and shells are used in the process of making clay harder without the need for high-temperature firing. This bit of information sparked my curiosity and made me eager to learn more about this potential pot-making class. As we delve deeper into the video, we notice various tools used for digging roots and foraging evidence in the area. One tool, in particular, is a limb core, a tool often used in traditional crafts. The speaker also points out a man marker and a piece of glass, suggesting that glass might be used to make tools in certain circumstances. Overall, this video offers a unique glimpse into a possible Native American pot-making class, showcasing traditional techniques and tools. As Bigfoot believers, we should appreciate such videos that help us understand various aspects of the cultures that might coexist with Sasquatch. I encourage you all to watch the video and share it with your fellow enthusiasts. Let's continue to learn, grow, and support each other in our shared passion for Bigfoot and indigenous cultures.
