Title: Southeastern Indian quivers
Post by: Sam McMichael on January 23, 2010, 01:56:00 PM
Can somebody help me find some info on the types of quivers used by southeastern tribes, particularly Cherokee and Creek. Pictures/diagrams would be nice. Also, any book references you can give me? Thanks.

They used over-the-shoulder woven basket quivers and also the standard reinforced buckskin over-the-shoulder quiver. Back quivers.

Thanks. I have access to a basket quiver but did not know if was "authentic". Also,I will order a book from the site Killdeer suggested. I am having little luck learning to straighten cane for arrows, so maybe I can do better with making a quiver. Yeah, I know I don't need a quiver if I don't have the arrows for it, but maybe I can carry my lunch in it. again, thanks for the help.

As an aside, I have seen so many nice things said to and about Killdeer since I started coming to the site. Is she the official "Grand Lady" of Trad Gang?

OK, here is a link to a thread in the How-to section. The Ferret is an excellent teacher. There is another here that when he talks, I shut up. His handle here is Pat B with no period after the B. He's a Nawth Kackilackian.

Charlie Jefferson, Stringstretcher, is right here in my state of Virginia, and he makes a mean cane arrow. He can tell you front o back, inside to out and start to finish all about cane arrows, whether native species, Japanese or Tonkin cane.

Another fella to look up here is Art B, from West Virginia. I have seen arrows from him that I still find hard to believe! Can you imagine an arrow, all crookedy, that still shoots straight? I have seen it done.

Killdeer... still sitting on that compound picture. Now go use the Search and Directory features, after you sit and listen to the Ferret.

It's an old one, with four wheels. I'll cover the knobs.
