Southeastern Indian quivers

[Sam McMichael]

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?

Call me that and I will post a pic of me with a compound.

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.
