For centuries the Wichi Indians have lived in the scrub forest of Northern Argentina as hunter/gatherers. As this way of life is threatened by the relentless advance of civilisation, they have turned to craft production as a means of survival and keeping their culture alive. By purchasing Siwok Crafts you help the Indians survive in their native land while they earn a living wage in their harsh environment, maintain self-respect and retain their culture and thus restore their dignity.
All items are hand-crafted in four scented local hard woods, beautifully finished and polished. The woods and material used are: Green Palo Santo (holy wood; Red Quebracho (axe breaker); Black Guayacan; Yellow; Mora(All are scented hard woods); White Cow bone.
Every order comes with a free book by Bishop Bill Flagg worth £5.00: From Ploughshare to crook .
