toc =Tribal living, Shelter and Clothing= Anika's Speach Do you know how many pounds of beads the seminole women wear? The Seminole can wear 12 pounds of beads! That as much as 5 litters of milk! Can you image wearing five liters of milk on your neck all day?! They love beads because of their beauty. They like beads that are red and light and dark blue. The beads were made of glass and were the size of a peas. To put the beads on their necks they would tie them together and in the end of the day you would cut the string that held them together. Then they would put the beads back in the basket which they took out in the morning. sometimes the beads are so heavy you can drown. Once two women were a canoe and the canoe flipped over. Their beads pulled them under the water and they drown. Baskets have been made for 60 years. I chose to make a basket because I thought it would be fun and would give me a good expearyance. Basket are interesting. I now see how hard it is to do every little stich. The seminoles use baskets for beads and other things. by Anika
