Ron Parker graced us with: As for spinning and weaving with it, well it just doesn't work, I tried. There are native bast fibers and some tree barks that can be worked but I don't know of any evidence that the Timucua worked in fiber. It seems most clothing was animal skins, decorated with feathers, shells. Maybe in the Spanish moss reference a basic leather outfit was decorated with moss.
Good call on the obscure tribe--but at least we know *something* about the Timucua. The locals here were the Apalachees. They pretty much died out by the early 1700's. --Ann To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
