Thanks for the info and website. Glad to hear you are finding a good home for your mother's things. I think that would have been very important to her. I like a lot about Native Americans and their culture. I think they had a very good philosophy about the land and family. Not so for the white man in many ways.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear about your mother. I wonder if Lodgepole Pine was named after pines that were used for poles. Have been traveling the past few weeks. Saw a number of tall narrow and straight trees (dead spruce?) and they looked like good candidates. Cedar would be light but haven't seen any tall skinny dead ones around here. Do you know the species of the trees your mother used for poles?
