content: Shayleen Macy of the Wasco delegation from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs made these comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit Aug 31-Sept 4, 2015. This is shaped like the needles that we see today for fishing nets, but the modern ones are made out of plastic instead. When I was in Hawaii they had the same form of needle.
