The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. April, well into April. Now we want to do a couple of things. Let's just go quickly through the technicals of the different industries. So the Dow is holding well. It's up 46 points and 33,448. It's been kind of the leader of the last couple of days to go over from the QQQ. Now what we've got is, look, this is the daily chart on the left, the weekly on the middle, and on the right is the monthly. Monthly says a lot of work to do to break out of this resistance line. And the same thing in the weekly chart, and you've got your support level, it's holding very nice. Most of having the pink move over the black period, moving average, that's the 9 over the 14 to go green. But it hasn't done it yet, and we've got another day and a half to go. So we're looking at the Dow with very good technicals on the daily, but it's still right at what was that midpoint. Remember, this is the channel that I spoke about, that Long Sideways channel. I could have extended that. It started to get a little messy, but I kept that line. That line says, we've stopped dead, we've stopped under it at 33,572 back in early March, and then plummeted to 2,000 points to 3147, 31429, and then popped up to yesterday's high, which was at 33,634. I'm anticipating just a fractional push above that level in the next couple of days just to complete this D, which we usually get a bicycle upgraded to a by-mode and a chapter in methodology almost always goes to at least a D. You've seen how many D's we had. We had a D back in February at the top. We had a D back in January at 34,342 as a top, and we had a D, and it quickly went to an E at 34,712 back in December. So I'm expecting that that should happen, but in the meantime, it's getting tougher and tougher. Look, the S&P, the S&P has gone to its D, and probably today is making a P D. Let me just go back to this one here where I said I'm going to be a little conservative, and that says that it's gone above the one-to-one chapter in the way of falling X, breakout formation with the parallel move at the same diagonal angle. It did go to a D, and now we've got to be real careful because unless the S&P and it's a D underneath the previous P G, I do not like to see D's form under previous highs because it means, unless you're coming off a major low, because it means that you haven't even got enough strength to get to maybe a C above that and then go to a D, it says you could be stalling out for a little bit, and that makes this 4034 area where this little dojo canal is really important. That's also where the 14 period moving average support is over the next week. If you're looking at a breakout, I see enough strength in the S&P with the stochastic at 94.6. That's fabulous, and flat if it suddenly started to go, the moment it goes under 80%, that's a serious, serious thing. And it hasn't done that, so it says it's stall some kind of support, some kind of residual strength. The QQQ is a little bit weaker, down two and a half at 316.7. I said to my subscribers this morning, I'm a little concerned that the semiconductors have failed. I'll put them together with the QQQ. Look, the QQQ is probably making a PhD today. There's the majors making a peak, F slash C, so it could be a peak F. Look, a sharp move down and a peak E in the weekly chart likely. And that's usually the leader of the markers. I'm real cautious right here. We've stepped back from doing buying. We wanted to do a quick trade today, a potential trade on the three times long TQQQ. That's along the Qs, just because it was a chance that QQQ, even though it was in leg D, could in fact extend a little bit more to try to test that high. And it was just a real quick, a very tight, we got stopped out. I think something like a 1.7% loss on the three times long. It's amazing that you can have such a narrow range, but either it worked or it didn't work, and it was only for traders. So in the meantime, back at the ranch, what I am looking at is that the IWM, which in a sense has been a little bit of a leader that it couldn't get going at all, is down again today, down to the 1.7T30. This is not a good sign. So yeah, we're looking at a number of factors that are saying just be real careful. Look at this, the financials down again, down 12 cents to 3179. You know, you include your Bank of America, it's fading, it's down to 2755. JPMorgan, really a very, very strong bank, whoops, down one at 127. Look at this, couldn't even break above the 200% moving average of such a sharp move down. I just say be a little cautious here, but there are areas that I'm noting that are starting to move very nicely. Now, within that context, gold has been spectacular. Gold actually is up again today. Hopefully it just slipped down 2037. I think on a very short-term basis, the unbalanced volume is suggesting that it's somewhat overboard. It should go back into the rectangle, probably go back under 2010. It's a 2037 right now, but it's fabulous action. We're looking at silver. I'm going to go to our corner. We've got silver in a leg E. It's been much stronger. You remember, I like to pair them together. One follows the other, plays catch-up, then the other starts to store. I think gold is about to store a little bit, and then silver should store a little bit. I'm going to go to, I guess, let me just see here. We have, we have a little, we have George in Newport, Richie, Florida. Hi, George, how are you? George? George, are you there? Said first-time caller. So maybe you're not used to it, but I am, you're only okay. All right, well, I see, George, that you did want to speak about Bank of America.  But just talk, as I'm talking, just say, I'm here so that I know you're there. But what I wanted to say, actually, oh, maybe you got off the line because I already mentioned Bank of America. But let me do this again. Bank of America, I have considered for years to be a very strong company. And, you know, when you go through to the risk management and all that, they seem to be doing things right. We've owned it for months, every year. And then we'd get out, we'd buy it. I thought we'd be alone in the 31 or under 30 area. And it would rally very sharply. We'd get out on the way up and the way down. Then we'd be out completely and just wait and wait and do it again. This is the first period in a long time that I haven't even thought about going to Bank of America. And that worried me about the XLF. And I love to see the XL financials moving with the market with the IYT. That's the transportation. I like everything to be in sync for a really serious bull market. So this has been a very selective bull market. So what I'm going to say to you is, if you're in Bank of America, I would do this.  So it allows you to sleep at night. And just say, hey, I'm at least managing my bank. It's not managing me. I'm managing it.  That's if you have a loss. If you got in last week or so and now you have a little bit of a profit, I'd still say the same thing.  But if it closes under 2632. That's an old. 2632 was the low two weeks ago. I like to say be really careful because anything can happen. So I'll be back when we talk about the banks in a moment a little further. But there are a lot of things that I want you to discuss as well. But hold on. If you're still there, my engineer will look it up. Be back in a moment. Now I was up 55 as it was down 11 divergence.

That was also really good questions. Thank you for calling. I appreciate it. And let me just go right here. I wanted to just mention something. Yeah, so I'm not sure whether I answered questions that you had in terms of the Bank of America trade. I believe you're hung up because I had already touched on Bank of America first time call. I would have liked to have spoken to you, George, in Newport, Ritchie, Florida. But you can call again maybe next week. I'll be doing my show tomorrow at 8 o'clock. I have to do it early. So with that said, another question came in about this Bank of America. And I'll do it right now. And that is, does the left side, right side price time match work in monthly charts? Well, you've seen it. I did it. I mean, how many? Let me just show you this. TLT. You know, monthly charts. I do monthly charts all the time. Oh, I forgot to. I must have done it with the bonds. Yes. Look at this. He has your monthly chart. And I did this huge arch formation. I said, if I make my midpoint right there, it should go to February of 2023 and touch the low that was made. Right there back in August of 2013 of 108 and 2330 seconds. Well, we did come down sharply, but I had done a one to one to the October 2018 low at 123. Now, I don't know if this gets smoothed out. Yeah, 125 was the lowest. So the numbers change only because it gets smoothed out. So that was 125. And I did that. And I said, I chose that particular candle right there. And what did we do? We broke it the exact left side, right side price time as to the bar that I chose. It wasn't the midpoint. It was a different candle. I had to do that because we were already moving to the right. So what happened is this is the month that I said it should hit right there. That was the shorter term one. And that was October of 2022. And we actually went a little bit lower. We went to 100.  It went to 118 and 21 30 seconds. Why? Because the price was 125. So it went lower, but it did it in the same time match. So that's a great. I've done this. Remember Exxon mobile. I've done it with all these charts. I've got this left side, right side price time at Exxon mobile went to the exact 105 level. But 104 76 was lying 2012. It went right there to that price point that I thought. It would hit and it did that. And then a pullback and then it went even higher. Even now it's holding beautifully. Look at this. This is a pure one to one to the upside of the falling acts formation in the same angle. The degree. That's the whole thing about this chart wave one to one extension. It goes in the same angle. The same number of bars. So let's go to Bank of America. That's this. Oh, I'm afraid to even look. I'm going to 17.95 was the load back in February. I think it was March, March of 2020. It runs all the way to the 50 area 50.11 had a chapter with two bar reversal. And that was in February of 2022. And now it's pulling back and says, I love to, if I, if I'm being patient. And I see that the midpoint, if it's to the high that was made extends a little too far, then I have to use different techniques, different chapter wave techniques. So all techniques that I discussed in any of my webinars and any of my, my, if you go to my site and you go to any of those webinars, you'll see me talking about this left side, right side price time match. I call it bar symmetry. But you can see that that would take it. I'm taking it to this cluster in this cluster has a low of 22 points who I don't even want to say it 22.39 back on July of 2020. So this is the cluster. And I always push right up against the wall that that takes me all the way to there. I didn't have to go there. I could have go there and would have been to to this low right here. That's the low of 11th. That's November of 2020. 23.27. It doesn't matter. And it says by July. There's a chance we could hit that. And here's your chat with inside wedge target support line. And that says, but on the way, if it holds 25 40 at any point, it could bounce off that level. So absolutely. Very nice question. More importantly, they will look at the candle. If we go into this week in April, there's a monthly chart and hold there and that Rick says if we go to look, we're almost there. If we go under 27, then that 25 level is going to be that was made the lower last month will be very quick to be tested. So yes, that's the reason why I'm very. I'd be very selective.  We haven't got our second position yet. The second position will be bought lower than our original position. So therefore we want to take tiny little bits off to make some, some cash, some good profits in the meantime, so we can keep that as a cushion. But we have a stock that even today is up one and a quarter percent. So I'm trying to go under the radar so that we can weather the storm. And there are other areas that I last night I started looking at them in the electricity area. I'm finding areas that I think are holding very well. That's not gold. Gold has been spectacular. So let me just do this before I forget. I had a question. I think it was Jane. Jane, you want to know about Tesla? When can I enter hold off? I like the action of Tesla on the weekly basis. The monthly chart doesn't look too great. The daily chart is making this arch formation. It failed to break above the 200-period moving average. It made a peak D at 208, 208.44 on the 17th. I might as well just type that in. 228.44 on the suit. I can't remember now what I said. I said 18th, I think. I'll change that if I'm wrong. Okay, so it has a 208.44. Hold off a little bit. I think that Tesla is in the sweet spot in terms of the electric car companies for a number of reasons. But there are some factors that I'm looking at in the chart itself that says, I'm going to just go here for a moment. So if you ask, Bowser, you haven't looked at your automated support and resistance lines for quite a while. So let me just do that now. Let me just, while I'm doing it, I want to go to natural gas, because I think natural gas is attempting to form some kind of at least a tradeable balance. But it hasn't really, look at all the, look, 1.94 is the continuous contract support there. It's trading at 2.15. The weekly chart has gone under the 244 level. 207 is the 120-minute chart support. And there's nothing in the monthly chart. So I just want to do that because I had a couple of questions. Could you look at U and G? I'll come back to it. So look at Tesla. I haven't seen this for a while. So Tesla has 188 support and it's under that. Is it 187 right now in the daily? A ton of resistance between 207 and 217. And in the daily, 205 to 224 in the weekly. But very little support is printed. Therefore, it's kind of open to the downside. And 186.64 in the 120-minute chart. Yeah, I think that Tesla's just stuck for a moment. But don't ignore it. And it's good that you asked me the question. This chart holds 183. It pulls back under there. If you want to take advantage of this sector, now is the time to subscribe to my Gold Report.

Alta, you know, I've spoken about this for a while. You're going to watch real close if you're talking, but they're not doing this falling axe formation in the weekly chart. It powered through that. But the whole thing is that the lower 501.04 wasn't the starting point but the latest buy signal to buy mode which was back in 19th and 20th of January at the 486 area. So what happened is, once you go peak A, this is E-A, Alternate Count, because it was an instant, 1, 2, 3, but it was an instant restart, gives you F-B, G-C-R typed in, then I said D and it went to an E with a doji candle at 537.82. It opened at around number 532 on the 5th of 22nd of February. And then it gapped down and then I said, okay, we're going to be watching this because Alta Beauty, this is, you know, this is an area that beauty products, certain beauty products, they never get sold unless it's just a deep recession and that recession goes on for a long time before. And look at the beauty of this whole beauty, Alta Beauty is that, look, the monthly chart took one bar, two bars, rest, and then it made a new high. One bar rest, new high, number five, just get it over and over and over. Then it started to stretch it out until the last one at peak D, which was right on the March, I think, no, sorry, September high of 451.30, one bar rest and then it breaks to a new high and this is extended to a late E. Now you can, this is a monthly chart, you can see the on-balance volume is extremely oversold, but the stochasticity at 94% is flat. That's really good. And the MACD is good. You're putting in the prices over. Then you get to the weekly chart and you say, oh, oh, MACD is starting to fail. Stochasticity at 80%, but it's much weaker than it was at that peak E and here it is at leg F. And then you get the breakout of this falling Axe formation. It isn't a full one. Let me just draw it in so that you know what I'm talking about when I talk about these patterns. I've been doing about it for years because it isn't part of the regular vernacular. You won't know what I'm talking about but you can see it. You can see it right here. Make this nice and fat so you can see it. I'll make it very fat. And I'll change it to say blue right there. And then I'll say copy, copy and paste, copy it right there. New parallel, make it green because that's what we're looking at.  And I usually start off either at a moving average or a gap or a doji camera or a trough. And that took me there. But if I go to the exact breakout, that takes you to 555. And what was the high yesterday? 553.06. And today is down 15. I'm watching this. I'm putting it together with the financials. Ultra beauty, which is just your, you remember there was years ago I used to use. What was that? Mr. Tux, no, what was it? There was that clothing company and I used to joke there, we say buy one, we'll give you five for nothing. What was that? And it was taken over by another men's men's warehouse took it over. So what was that? It was, oh I can't remember now. But it was this fantastic, this company was like it was golden. It just went to higher highs and higher then I found that years later that what happened was that the owners, it was just brothers or something, and they would be buying shares all the way. They just keep buying and buying and buying and they kept it supported. Well, ultra beauty, I don't know what is going on there fundamentally. I'm just saying, look at that beautiful buying, buying, buying and now we'll see if it starts to pull back and at any point in April, if it closes under 490, I mean that's another 40 points below this that's going to tell me, take this pullback in the market very seriously. At this point, something's up, it's down 2.85% down $15, not a big deal. It is a big deal when you look at the chart, but not a big deal in this little red candle. The first red candle it's had in about six months in the monthly chart. Alright, I want to mention that. Next I have done Tesla, I said hold off on Tesla, because I might say to you just, once it starts to move up, I don't mind missing a move to the upside. I don't want to be buying the power move to the downside. This is a peak C failure, so if it does close under 183 in the next week or so, then that low that was made at 162 was it 161.50? I can't remember. 163.90 That will be a target for an H pattern. I don't think it's a rush, but I do think in many ways in the overall spectrum of the electric car market, it's got a heads up, it's there, it can pull prices down a little bit, and take away the pressure from other companies. Look at Ford stuck at that 200-period moving average. Next question I had was could I look at, I'm going now in sequence MPC is Marathon something, right? Marathon petroleum call so this is different to MRO I used to have this all notated. Peak A, let me just do that on the daily chart. Peak A right there. I said I'm a little cautious about the oil in the oil service stocks in this move with crude oil acting so well. Something's not quite right, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is an emotional response to something. So from this low here, from this low in the weekly it goes peak A peak B see big moves up and then it gets to a D not quite so high and it's starting to stall. I'd say just I'd hold off right now, but if you're in a longer term, yeah longer term maybe if you want to start a small position in a long-term position at 129.94 right now. I'd say okay, but at this point I would say wait a little bit. Next question was VLO which is Valero Valero energy type it into the little box over there the gosh I haven't even had a chance to do my E-minis which I wanted to do so this is stalling a little bit nice action today at 133.47 they both this oil and gas exploration they're both kind of in the same area they have this pretty much not quite the same charts but in terms of in terms of charts which one is a better chart MPC Marathon Petroleum Corporation is a way better chart in the weekly and the monthly VLO is way choppier so I think if I was to choose between the two I'd say MP yeah I think so I think that MPC is probably the better one and this one I'd hold off if I was if you got both of them that's one thing if you got both of them you need to see you say 133 you need to see by two and a half weeks time for the monthly chart to improve it needs to get to 145 143 to 140 that's 10 points from here but if it takes out 120 support that's a real problem next question I had was let's just go here okay oh yeah so you had the altar you still got those puts very congratulations um altar altar beauty puts yeah I think that the the downside is a little bit is becoming more more like a magnet on altar that upside right now I think there's a lot of upside resistance let's go let's go yeah so that's there I just I'm ready oh this is what I want to look at CRWD crowd strike crowd strike and made a double top just the other day I'm watching these really close this is the cyber security area um I need to talk about that a number of people asking about it I'll be there in a

that was on the 23rd of March and then it pulls back and then it holds the 14 period moving averages average running sharp it goes to what 138.67 all below the 200 period moving average which is now repellent doji candle that was yesterday the 5th the 4th of April and today's down sharply and the MACD deflected lower the stochastic now under 80% 75% the unbalanced volume is pulling back this had better hold 119 whoops do one thing at a time 124 it has to hold 124 the 50 period moving average because if it doesn't it's going to retest the lows that remain 118.15 and 118.23 on the 10th and 11th of March so watch this closely the weekly chart did improve a lot so far that's holding okay but I'm watching this because this includes hack which is one that we've been looking at very seriously we've had it before we got out of it looking I had a choice of two particular ETFs I chose a different one and left this one now this one's pulling back and you can see it was stuck in a rectangle formation I'll talk about rectangle formation in a moment but you can see that it's having a little difficulty trying to break out the strike is the cyber security ETF for the security stocks and it's being hurt by crowd strike let's see what PAN APANW is doing Palo Alto yeah that's gone to A, B this is F, G stash C it's gone to a G stash T it's actually holding much better and it's a leg B in the weekly chart this is the supreme one this is the leader right there A and that's gray A this is an F stash B and I have an old journal counter because as you're getting higher and the technicals are starting to weaken you have to be prepared that there could be a pullback so I think it's just really time now to go to my look I talk about the narrow rectangle formation we were in this narrow rectangle formation going to the top to the bottom 41-22, 41-18 for over an hour then suddenly pops above it goes above and then starts to move very sharply higher and goes to the top that I had drawn in as a left side right side price time match to the bar symmetry to the height of A23 of the E-mini S&P E-mini one minute chart at 41-27 point 75 and what does it do it spikes up to what 41-27-75 the exact to the quarter to the quarter point amazing and then it started and I must admit that I was in this and then I I gave it a little too much room so I took a little bit of a loss it wasn't looking real good took a little bit of a lot out and I just haven't had a chance to be in the show for this bounce to the upside and failure pattern and now we are down to 41-07 and that's the reason why I say to subscribers it's only the one that needs to make that leg D. Everything else is already done in the Chapman wave what we like to look for so within that context our lower yields helping the market so the TLT has another question I had so the TLT is stuck in a range see this weekly chart for the IHS 20th Treasury Bond ETF made a high in March of 20-20 179 comes all the way down to 91-85 back in October it's stuck in the rectangle what a rectangle if it's a short-term wide rectangle that's one thing but as it extends out it just tells me that this is going to be stuck in a range for a little bit the 200-period moving average of 108.54 if it's taken out then it go to leg C above 108 109.10 and that will go to a leg C can I do that now yes I'll do that now if you don't mind I'm going to go to this is my chart that I often show I always show on the weekends when I do my hour long video so folks if you're interested in my Chapman wave methodology as well as my newsletter on a weekend as long as I'm in town but I've actually done yesterday I had someone put in my discord no sorry my Camtasia onto a different computer and finally I'm going to be able to do I hope be able to do my video my weekend videos when I'm out of town and I will be out of town in May so and in April so I'm going to be needing it very much so if you're looking at the TYX that's the white 38T bond yield weekly chart you can see it's being buried here whereas before it was always nicely above the 10 year the 10 year brown or gold TNX right there the cyan is the 5 year FEVX they were in sync like they should be yield 30 years above the 10 the 10 year T-node yield is above the 5 year all of a sudden we got this mishmash ever since well since late 22 so now we've gone the cup and handle formation that I dislike intensely unless you get the low of the cup which is what Investors Business Daily works on very hard that's one of the prime techniques that they use if you get that the reason why I love the Chapman wave cup and ladle break out we haven't seen too many of those lately is that it goes it breaks the left side high in leg C that's as you can go quite a bit high because you should still go to a D in this case what happens is very the cup and ladle says that you stored at the left side high and now you're making a cup formation and if you break out of it no matter how high you go you almost always go back into the handle which is exactly what's happening now that's the reason why I say this is stuck in the range as you midpoint ish somewhere around there and I just think it's going to wiggle around here for a little while I don't think it's breaking out or breaking down just yet maybe I'm wrong but that's what I'm looking at and if you look at when I says global timber and forest ETF that pullback I always have these charts so this is a weekly chart of the global ice shares of the timber and forest ETF telling you there's weakness in the worldwide weakness and this is telling you that the Philadelphia housing index is actually running really well and that yields probably aren't going to be breaking to the upside just yet because this is what this chart is saying on the weekly housing index enough with that let's get back to the story that I want to go separate here let's bring that I spoke about the estimations being weak I'm not happy about that did the TLT oh wait, you mean Joseph A. Banks is still around I thought they were taken over but I thought it was Men's Warehouse or maybe they were part of Men's Warehouse and they're still doing the one I used to always love buy one pair of socks and get two suits free I mean I don't know how they stayed in business obviously it wasn't that but I'm just joking about I used to always joke about that and yet they did fantastically and then they were taken over and I think Men's Warehouse did terribly they didn't get acquired because they did they're still standalone stores really TFNN has just launched their new trading room the Tiger's Den hosted at Discord TFNN has been educating traders for more than 20 years with live programming hosted by a variety of professional traders during market hours and now they are expanding their reach with the Tiger's Den available to all tigers and tigers for just $1 for the year there's no catch or added costs when you join our community of traders in the Tigers Den you can look over the shoulders of Tom O'Brien and the other TFNN hosts while they analyze charts during their live Tiger TV programs and join an interactive trading community with hundreds of members exchanging ideas interact with other tigers and tigers as they share trading ideas news analysis and discuss the market action all trading day even at night and on the weekends the Tigers Den at Discord is accessible on mobile or tablets so it's always at your reach to sign up today and become a part of this educational community of traders just visit the front page of TFNN.com you might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market you're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future right like any endeavor in life before you decide it's impossible get some advice from the experts you might find that it's not so impossible after all the market overviews that give you direction on the key indices, selective stocks and commodities subscribe to the opening call newsletter at TFNN.com the opening call newsletter is written by Basil Chapman creator of the trading methodology known as the Chapman Wave the Chapman Wave up-down sequence gives you an edge in identifying price turns finding the peaks and valleys in stock prices get the opening call newsletter by Basil Chapman in your inbox first time subscribers also get a 30-day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up TFNN.com educating investors everything in the universe is governed by the Fibonacci sequence this mathematical principle is responsible for everything from the most aesthetically pleasing artwork to patterns in the stock market to stay on top of stock patterns you can take advantage of or the Fibonacci 24-7 newsletter at TFNN.com when you subscribe you'll get a weekly report from veteran day trader Larry Pezzavento on stocks you need to pay attention to and you can trust Larry's analysis after all he's got 45 years experience as a day trader Larry will also provide daily charts videos and data on the key markets that he's tracking expect notifications from Larry on market movement you need to act on at any time first time subscribers also get a 30-day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up subscribe to the Fibonacci 24-7 newsletter today TFNN.com educating investors the company Joseph A.

Hi, my name is Julia, and I just completed a course with ITTT. I found that it was a really enjoyable experience. The course load wasn't difficult or overwhelming, and that was really important to me as a full-time college student and someone with a full-time job. It was broken down into really easy to understand sections, and you weren't pressured to do too much at once because you're only supposed to do three units a day. The most brutal part of the program was probably the very last step, which is completing the lesson plan. But it was a really rewarding experience because I had to submit the most detailed lesson plan I've ever had to. And, of course, I think that was really rewarding in the sense that it made me produce a better product than what I had been previously, which obviously is going to help my future students quite a bit. So I'm really looking forward to using the knowledge that the ITTT course is provided in future classroom settings. And I'm just, I would honestly recommend it to anyone who's looking into going to this field, particularly with this institution. So for anyone who's about to take it, good luck. If for anyone debating, I would highly recommend it.


سوامالي is are as tough for people as you'll probably meet anywhere they have had a rather extraordinary capacity to endure what they have been through, they also have a very entrepreneurial spirit that I think has really also helped them get through this period of prolonged sustained crisis it was really devastating because we never experienced a war before there were sometimes clashes in the nomadic area but in the cities there was no war before so it was really a catastrophe and children were dying there was no water, enough water there was no food at all there was no even you know cooking utensils because the person who loot they take even everything so people they were they don't know if they can alive in a day for the ACRC it was and remains and that's not a proud point of reference actually our largest humanitarian operation since the second world war we thought that everybody needed as much help as we could provide and we assisted about a million people at the time we had a fleet of 20 ships we must have had about 20 planes 25 planes we probably had a couple of hundred trucks so we kind of organized multiple simultaneous entry points so that food was pretty much arriving throughout the country all over the country at the same time we brought all this food and then we cooked it which was another way of preventing it being looted was cooking the food and it's more difficult to loot cooked food than it is to loot a truck full of food people would come every day for a year to take three meals of rice, beans and oil that was the value it had it was enormously important it affects many people majority of the people but it may affect this woman and in every war this woman who is a victim who is the most vulnerable because she cannot defend herself I think with time Somali started coping with the conflict situation has improved the number of humanitarian organizations multiplied and they definitely take a quick chunk of the pressure you can imagine being a Somali your own people sometimes you don't even understand it's very difficult to rationally look at why at the end of the day you are fighting yes they fight for political issues but at the end of the day it doesn't make a lot of sense but the response of the Somali people to their problems is something that has been very humbling to be a part of and to watch and they got on with it and they looked after their children and they did everything they could the great credit is owed to the Somalis there seems to be quite some optimism amongst many Somalis in the south and the centre following better rains which are helping the rural economy in particular helping them to move out of this period of recent food crisis and then as well as the result of recent elections which have seen a government installed in Somalia for the first time really since 22 years that's clearly creating some optimism nevertheless for the ICRC we see that there continue to be massive challenges ahead the conflict isn't over so like many other Somalis yes I am quite optimistic and I hope that it's not just optimism alone but optimism with something to follow


So today I have a real pleasure to introduce two distinguished speakers, Mr. Ed Kerrier from the Squamish tribe. He is a master basket maker. And here I think we have some of the baskets that he has woven. And Dr. Dale Crawl from Washington State University. Dale and I share a common friend, a wetland archaeologist, Akira Matsui, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago. But Akira did a lot for wetland archaeology, who introduced me to Dale. And Dale introduced me to Ed. So in the spring of 2016, both of them came to Japan. And we went to two I knew places, one in Shirahoi and the other in Nibutani. And at Shirahoi, we gave us more workshop, where Ed said, weaving basket is not just weaving techniques. 80% of the work is ready to get the raw materials. And getting the raw material starts with planting trees in the forest, which I think was really the highlight of our trip. And highlight of my stay in Japan for two years when I was doing a big project with the institution in Kyoto. And I'm very, very excited to have this opportunity, to have them here. They're also giving a class lecture tomorrow morning at 9.30 in my Hantagyada Archaeology class in 136 Bells. So if any of you are interested in coming to that one as well, please do come. It's 136 Bells. So without further introduction, please welcome Ed and Dale. Well, thank you for coming. It's interesting traveling all the way down here and seeing this beautiful university here, my first time in this area. So we got our little slide show here. And I brought baskets and things that pertain to food gathering, fishing. A slide there, our archaeology basket. It's a backpack. You wear it on the forehead. And carry it on the back like that. And of course, this is a small sample. The larger ones, they fit across the back and down. And they would carry foods like this. This is a piece of hard smoked salmon, half of a. And it's flayed out. And then a little cedar sticks are put through there. And then it hangs in the smokehouse for about three or four days. And this is a common food that they would carry in one of these, distribute in one of these burden type baskets. But when I wove this one, rather than weaving four baskets, I've got a four in one. I got a 4,500 year weave here, a 3,000, a 2,000, and a 1,000 and above. So I wove all in one basket rather than having to weave four baskets. So you folks can pass this basket around and take a quick look at it. And one basket that represents 225 generations, no doubt, a relative of it. Can we pass this around? Oh yeah, and then you can look at this. But this is our lunch, so please. I told Dale this is his lunch today. So we just came out with a book that is out on this three-year project. And we can pass one around of that. And it's essentially, through the Journal of Northwest Anthropology, the Society bought a bunch. So we could sell some for $40. They actually sell on Amazon for $54.95. And we'll sign it. This covers my life as a basket. We've earned Dale's life as an archaeologist. And the two of us coming together and replicating ancient Salicy basketry, like the one I'm passing around there. There's a synergy of culture and science separately. You can have nearly the completeness as bringing cultural training and science. One fellow commented on the book. And he said, it's a human interest book. And I thought that was. A lot of time, Secretary of State, Ralph Monroe, the Pat Kirch knows. And he said, this isn't a site before. This is a human story. We hope you see it that way. The Burke Museum's been very supportive. This is Ed working on some of the replicas of the 2000-year-old baskets they have at the UW Burke Museum. This is a website that was close to my area where I live on the Snoqualmie River. It was a 2000-year dated back. It was a food-preparing village right on the edge of the river. And all these baskets were thrown down near the river and got this mud on them that preserved them. The Snoqualmie River has a fine, fine silt in it from the glaciers, from the Cascade Mountains, powdered rock.  So all these baskets were preserved down there. Ed uses a form to weave around to keep it perfectly formed. He uses styrofoam from the Snoqualmie Casino Construction. They have this wonderful styrofoam. And at the OZ ancient site, they use bent wood boxes to weave around. You can't weave these baskets in a plating. You can't weave them without a form. So these are better for sticking needles. This little one here was the only one they found where the whole basket was there, the bottom, the sidewall, the rim detail. So I was able to measure it and replicate it and use the cedar root that it was made out of. The cedar root was identified underneath the electron microscope looking at the cellular structure of the wood. And every wood has a different structure so they could tell me whether it was cedar root or spruce root or vine maple or whatever. And when I split my roots, I split them up and put them in little coils like this. So all I got to do is throw that in a bucket of water and then I can weave with it. So this little basket here is the. It's probably the same weaver that wove these bigger ones. But it's. I think it was a child's basket for maybe picking little hawkleberries in or something. So nothing's more human than a finding a kid's basket. So we replicated these two types, these two major types. And that's ed. This piece right down here was the large piece of the burden basket, the large one. Like that, only that large. Yeah, about this size. And so it showed me the sidewall construction, the handle detail, the rim detail. So I was able to really replicate it very well by that piece right there. And then the other piece on the other side is a plating weave over and under weave. So I was real proud of Dale. He wove this one here replicating the other piece that was found. That's what I know. You need a farm. You could not weave that kind of weave without working up a bandwidth box or tapering. And then that's I taken on an apprentice, Josh Mason, there. And he wove that large burden basket there. And I've been teaching him. And then in the lower picture, we wove shrimp pot baskets. And some of our people went to the Smithsonian. And at the Smithsonian, they got this shrimp pot basket that was collected in the Puget Sound area. And so they took pictures of it. So I was able to replicate it and weave one exactly like the one they have at the Smithsonian. So the Smithsonian doesn't have anything over on me. I got it. You probably won't. But the Burke, you know, a whole goal of this project is to perpetuate this into the future generations of weavers and our Salish sea weavers. And the Burke Bill Holm Center helped us reach that goal with Josh Mason, who's a Squatson Island tribe member. And he was one of the students that was supported by this Bill Holm Grant for Ed DeTige. That really took it on the cedar limb and rip style baskets. And so he. These are all the split cedar limb and the split cedar root weavings. Josh took his and he dropped it down 300 feet under the fuges. Didn't tell us about it until it was over. But put some cat food or some kind of and cut a lot of shrimp. Cut some of our big spotted shrimp we have up there. So I know the basket works. We've been getting a lot of support from the tribes for this book. They want this out for their future generation. Squaxon Island tribe, the director and vice chair are showing Ed their beautiful museum at Squaxon. And then they gave us a grant to send. This just got sent out, I think, Monday to all the libraries and colleges in the Northwest because they granted this sticker on it. So they wanted to get it out to the community. And then these tribes, Kaleilap Salats, Snoqualmie and Suquamish, funded subsidies for this book to make it less expensive for native weavers. So I've got Dr. Habu, the forum. If you're a Native American member and would like to get about half price for this book, it's through their subsidies you can get the book. So we've got a lot of support from the tribes. That's probably our main audience. And this is what Ed was talking about. For 50 years, I've done archeological work in wet sites. Cluti Nozet, you might have heard of. And Ed's done 50 years of cultural training. And this is when we were young bucks. That's me where I lived, where I was raised in Indianola, the old house. And my grade school picture there. I don't know if you can spot me there. Anybody spot Ed? Probably Ken, Ken. Which one's Ed? This is the test. Which one? Becca. Becca's a student from my wet site at Sparks in experimental archaeology. So I feel, I still feel sorry for that teacher because the first through the sixth grade, one room, one teacher. Nobody. Boy, they sure picked up on it at UBC. We gave it to our class. They knew right away. Yeah. And his first bike, he got used for $10 in his high school picture. And then this is Dale Crowe's in his high school picture. And Dale's first bike. That bike would cost me $75. I got mine for 10, but it wasn't motorized. It wasn't motorized, though. So you know which one's me? Pat probably knows. That's what he used to look like. I remember you. I'm the one with a hop along castity t-shirt. Does that look good and blue? And I felt sorry for that. These teachers, too. This is where I live in Indianola, the red area there, the trust land, native trust land that people halt shoot up above. And his wife, we should all, after we were run out of our big house over in our old man house over in Sokwamesh, when the army took it over, was going to make a fort there, run out everybody out of it. And so they took Chief LaHalcio over to Indianola because it was way far out of the way. And so he had 160 acre trust land given to him there. And so I still, it's still intact. Well, there's 80 acres now. Chief LaHalcio quickly sold 80 acres off. So I still hold it in trust land. The picture that you have for this cock, he's sitting on his porch right there. Yeah. And Chief LaHalcio's personal cooking basket here, this one's about 200 years old. And of course, the bottom has fallen out of it. But there's little burn, Mario. They heated hot rocks and hung them in the basket to boil food on.   And I, I replicated it. Don't hit it like that. Oh, you better show them. I replicated it. So this is my replication of it. So you can take a look at that there. This is his. Oh, that's my great-grandma. See, I was raised by my great-grandma. My mom was too young when she had me, so she just gave me to my great-grandma. So that's, I was about 14 there. And she, she's the one that I watched weave these clam gathering baskets. And so this particular clam gathering, fish gathering basket was the one, the main one that our Suquamish tribal people and Julia Wove, she was one of the last weavers to be weaving one of these cedar limb and cedar root baskets, or cedar bark or cedar limb and cedar root baskets. And so I just fortunate enough to pick that up. And when I was 14, I made my first one that I used for digging clams in and everything. So later on in life, I decided, well, I better continue to weave these, because if I don't, it's going to be a lost art. It's going to be, it's going to die out. So I've been weaving them. So I've been weaving them now for over 50 years. We have this deed in the book, and it's the deed to transfer this to Julia, his great-grandmother from Chikohaltchu, and he couldn't read or write. So that's why they called it the land of incompetent Indians. See, they were non-competent because they couldn't read or write, they just spoke Indian. And so this old deed here with his thumbprint on the bottom, that's how they signed. And deeding the land over to Julia, his daughter, or his adopted daughter, really, and outside the house with some of her hard-coil cooking baskets there and berry picking baskets. He wants to replicate this next. This one is beautiful, actually. Yeah, it's in the museum. And me with one of those, that's called a crossed-warp basket. See, the warps run, the warps are the body of the basket, and they cross over each other as you weave up the basket. So they're called the crossed-warp basket. We have his sales records from this, and these are traditional clam baskets, and we can estimate easily he's made 700 of these clam baskets out of lemon red in his lifetime. So it's one of his main focuses. And then the little basket that's going around there, this is a couple of hard-coiled baskets that I made besides that one that's going around there. And my. You saw that to the burp, maybe, when Pat was correct. Yeah, the burp found out I was making that one, so she called me up and wanted to buy it, so I sold that one to the burp. This one I still have. This one here is kind of my lifetime story basket. Oh, it starts out with a fishnet on the bottom and my canoe that I carved. And I used to hunt a lot of ducks, so I got some birds around there. Then I got a salmon backbone design in there, and I got hands and finger design and salmon gill design. And I used to climb in the mountains, so I got mountains. I like lightning streaks coming down, and the moon, and the stars, and the Milky Way up there. So I just. This on his business card, he has his whole life story of this picture. I just as I pulled the basket, I designed it and put all those designs into it. Oh, this is my generationally linked basket weaving compared to Dale's closest archaeology or wet site generations way back. And me with my son, Jeff, and my mother, Isabel, and my grandma, Agatha, and my great- and my great-grandma, the lady that raised me. And so I was just real fortunate. I set my camera up and got in and took that picture. That's right out back of where we lived. We lived in that house there, and that was our smokehouse and our woodshed, and we smoked a lot of that salmon in that smokehouse there. They did a studio picture right after this, a real formal studio picture, and we never could find it. Then we found this, and this is better. Much better than the studio picture. This is what Ed's talking about. We're trying to figure out what we were doing, and we tended to call it generationally linked archaeology, because these dots are each a generation for 100s. Back to the 2,000-year-old baskets we were replicating, and you got Ed. And then his mom and grandmother didn't have the urge, like he did, to learn this. So they never did, but he learned from Julia, who learned 4th, 5th generation wishy-dot. And then I do this deep time, do statistics on these wet sites in this whole area. And I go from this direction. He goes from, his whole goal was to learn as far back through the generations of weavers from museums and relatives. He never dreamed he would work with 100-generation grandparents, you know, with this. And no doubt these were my relatives, because these tribes were relatively close together in the Puget Sound area, so we might have been related.  This is where you live, right? In the morning. And that's where the site is. So all of this is really interrelated basketry-wise for at least 3,000 years, or inside Salish Sea versus outside. And this shows the cedar bark and cedar root and tully and different fibers that these baskets were made out of. And a majority of them were cedar root. And up north, there were cedar bark and spruce root and so forth. Then I worked the wet sites of Ozev out on the west coast with the Makah tribe. And this is excavating the houses that were covered by a mudslide, and we're using water to excavate. That's the first basket I ever found. It's like Dr. Habu finding her, or Dr. Lightfoot finding their first arrowhead, but for me, yes. You might be really like, huh? And we found these whalers hats too. It's about 300 years old, the mudslide, 1,700 in fact, when the Japanese recorded that tsunami coming clear across the Pacific in January 28th, 1700. There's no earthquake, that's why they call it an orphans. So they could tell us the exact minute it happened when the tsunami hit Japan. They told us the exact minute that the earthquake happened and the village was buried. But this dome, onion dome hat here was identified a whaler or a chief, but it was definitely a whaler's hat because it was in the, buried in the houses and the wet sites out there. There's one spruced root. He made it all a spruced root. I made this one out of the spruced root with wild cherry bark and an ocean grass that floats in on the ocean beach and a bare grass here. Oh, this is just a two-strand twining weave here that I used. We'll have to have a tent model up there. Oh, you can, okay. I'm gonna be careful with it. Okay, look at that. You saw that Terrell stood up with the Macaulay there. Yeah, all of these artifacts were part of the, we're in equal partnership with the Macaulay and one of their requirements is this never goes to Seattle to the Burke Museum or anywhere else. And so we, Dr. Richard Doherty got funds through Jackson and Magnuson to build a museum in Nambay and some of you may have been there. Yeah, it's gorgeous museum. So all the artifacts from this and the Hoka Riverside I dug with the Macaulay up at Nambay, curated and you want a little drink? I'm gonna, so I did all these tests to see and I always got this sea area in the inside Salish Sea. Coming out, the first one was from all the baskets in 77, 20 years later, I added in there a whole lot of baskets from Hoka River. There's 3,000 year old's sake and they have knob top hats 3,000 years ago there as well, which probably meant something about the wearer but once you add that and you add water hazard, you increase and you're trying to test your model. Is there cultural continuity, cultural transmission through the styles of baskets and it held up and in another 20 years, we did some more sites like Mud Bay, Oak Cross and added that to the test. So every 20 years I got to test my hypotheses and they held up pretty well. So this is us working with the Squaxin Island tribe and this is Ed. That's when we really got together. I started inviting him and said, we're getting clam baskets very much like yours. And he really wanted to come. So he's here helping us excavate and see any clam baskets. And I got down there and that basket was so new looking underneath there, had been under there for 700 years and I said, Dale, did you just put that under there to fool me? I thought I was pulling his leg and I said no. Becca worked on our field school there and Med Ed, he came up several times, teach the students about his work in Beckham Canyon. Then I saw her over in Exeter doing experimental archaeology. I think it was coming. So long. And Kitamatsu, who was a long time friend of mine because he's a wet site archaeologist, sponsored this dig down in Portland with a different group of tribes, certainly the Salats and Warm Springs and Grand Ronde that we found beautiful baskets. And this is Pat Courtney Gold who came down and helped us analyze this, knew exactly the materials, knew exactly, it was an acorn basket. She made me this and gave it to me. So I like wearing this as a frog necklace. And one thing about that acorn basket, it's that crossed warp weave, that clam basket weave that's going around. And then we started doing coladistic analysis for some more for biology, but to see if it complimented our close proximity analysis with Dr. Mark Collard, and sure enough this sea area really was polar opposite from the west coast. And then I was wanting to learn how to weave with spruce root and make the large burden basket back in the 1980s. And so I went to near Bay to McCall and I met Isabelle Idez. Well, she was already a great friend of my great grandma Julia. She actually used to come and stay at my house when I was really tiny. And they would go to Seattle area to pick hops and earn a few dollars that way. So I went up there and she took me to her spruce root gathering along the ocean beach. These spruce roots grow in the sand and we pulled all those nice long spruce roots out of the sand there. Like a sand. So generous. And so that's got me started weaving the backpack burden baskets. And then she said, nobody makes these anymore. I don't know. And I said, well, Isabelle, you help me out. I'll make you one for your 100th birthday. Well, this was 20 years off yet. So by gosh, on her 100th birthday, I had it all made and I went up there and I'm presenting it to her for her 100th birthday there. And that's when Dale Crowe was kind of found out about me there. I couldn't believe anybody would. I knew the last weavers of these burden baskets that, so I had a 2000, I had my new digital camera. These came out pretty good. They're in the book of Ed presenting this to someone who had been my teacher for 30 years. When I worked with them on the ZEP, we were equal partners and they said I had to take basket weaving from their elders to understand the old ZEP baskets. And I didn't think so either then. My director Dick Doherty said, we're equal partners, you're gonna take a semester of that. That's when she was my teacher. And believe me, I learned more in that class than I would in any graduate class at Berkeley. Right, kid, he knows. But I did, it was a real eye opener and it really led the way, not only that, you know, to work with Ed, but she's a best friend of Julie's. So we had that nice connection. We had that link too. I couldn't believe, I really, took notice when I was talking about that basket. I'm really glad Dale was there to take that awesome picture. And then this Kathleen here, she takes a little tiny speck and puts it underneath the microscope there and tells you whether it's cedar root, spruce root, vine maple, or whatever by looking at the cellular structure of the wood. See, that's blown up about 10,000 times to get one growth ring that big and look at the cellular structure of the wood there. Ed really likes looking into the, you know, this is the science side of it for Ed. He's never looked inside of his spruce roots or cedar roots. Do you see most of it at that 2,000-year-old site as a cedar rip or a combination of root and land? Oh, yeah, man. This is the site dug by amateurs in the 19th century. This, on the Snoqualmie River, it flooded back in the 60s and these baskets were sticking out of the bank of the river there and somebody was going up the river and noticed them. So these amateur archeologists got in there and rescued all these beautiful pieces. Rescued about 60 pieces and most of those are preserved in the Burke Museum now. And so that's why I was able to replicate that particular burden basket there off of these pieces that were found here. In the blue clay there and as Ed passed around that replica and there's no oxygen in that.  Well, there's no oxygen. It's blue still and bacteria fungus can't operate. So these baskets, there's some sites in the Charlottes that are 10,700 years old with spruce root braids. It's not part of our learning tradition in archeology, but Norris basketry. But it's, you know, very much supported by tribes because 90% of their material culture comes back to light in these kinds of sites. So we went to UBC, we were just there and that was a real eye-opener for Ed and I because we got to see even older baskets from the Frazier Delta. The 2,000 year old ones were identical to beater boats and I just got one little guy made here from that 4,500 year old weave. And boy, of all the weaves, I've never seen a weave like this. Any basket I've ever looked at in all the museums and everything, I've never seen this weave yet. And I prefer that, I really like this weave here. He's used that body weave in his traditional clam baskets today. And I made a clam basket. I made a clam basket using that particular weave. That's a miniature of the 3,000 and I'll show you the 4,000. This is the 4,500 year old. And he made samples of those and we need these. No, these little guys here, the 3,000 and then the regular weave that I do. 3,000 and 4,500. He first made these samples before he did the archaeology basket. We showed you these first. When I get all timers, I just have to look at those then I won't forget how to do that weave. Look at those samples. And the UBC bought this basket, it's on display now. And in their museum it shows you the different layers of time. So he decided to call it an archaeology basket. And that's his dog or neighbor's dog, Charlie. That's his beach on the end of that allotment. He probably had the only allotment still with a made of allotment with a beach. Anyway, some of you archaeologists were wondering, what is this? What are we doing then? Is it experimental archaeology? And it really isn't, according to John Cole, who's quite involved with this in wetland sites. It's not exactly reproducing circumstances, conditions. So it's not really experimental archaeology, Becca. But it is not really ethnoarchaeology since it does involve working with Ed and trying to understand a site in the past. But that isn't really what we were trying to do that Beterbowl site. We were trying to see the generations of how they connected to his generations. And so we call it generationally linked archaeology, where we work with the current artisan and archaeological evidence. Now you have to make this available to the artisans so that they can do this. And we've got to realize that as scientists, they've got to get in like today, get into the museum back room here at the Hearst Museum.  And she knows exactly. She can make it. She knows the material. She knows what it is used for. That knowledge is still here. I think you can do that with pottery in other parts of the world. We're sure of common. You've really worked with the artisans from the communities in the Southwest. You could probably take it back through the archaeology. And that'd be generationally linked archaeology. So we put this together and have our hypothesis. And we think it's valid. It had to be tested some more of this generationally linked archaeology. And it is experimental archaeology, but a different kind. We also were able to see if this was well accepted around the world in different places and SAAs. And so we got an invitation from Dr. Habu to go work with the Ainu. So here's Ed with his spruce roots from the Hoko River Mouth. But we both read this Ainu book from the whole thing by Pitsu, Bill Pitsu. And then I read Junko's classic book, Seminole Book on Ancient Japan. Really got ready. And then we went from Sailor's Sea to Ainu and had a wonderful experience visiting there. This is Dr. Habu. They really do have some pretty neat work internships. We talk about Josh working with Ed. Well, they do like three-year internships, correct? So we went to many of these centers. So this young lady is working in these, and then they learn language, dance, song, lume work, three years. So our Indian colleges don't quite do that. Sorry, again, Ken. I don't know who funds it. We paid our way, though. I mean, we did, because we offered. We were so excited, we were happy to do that. And then from there on, it was taken care of by Dr. Habu's gang. And these are plump lines from a wet site in Japan. They've got lots of wet sites. We don't do that. And I guarantee you, you've got in the bay here in those shimmons, if you looked, you'd find a waterlog part of that. Because I've seen him at Clearlake with Cordy changing out of the bank. If you looked, you know, we just don't do that. We don't learn to do that in our profession yet. But this is a Japanese plump line. And one, we found it. Kwakwas, my bae, that Ed is modeling here, but he makes the he, when we found it that day, he was there, and you might have been there, Becca. And he had his plump line and showed our students, this is what that is. Great work shots. That Japanese bamboo weaver came to show me about bamboo weaving. And then the reporter was there. And the next day, I was on the front page of the Japanese newspaper. But this is Koichi, one of the Ainu elders that was very impressed by how we could work together. He's a tree farmer, you know, say something about it. Oh, yeah, I was really, really happy to meet him because he raised his different trees on his property there. And I'm a tree farmer. I raise my own trees on my property. You need a tree farm, really, to do, you need a forest to do basketry. Yeah. So he's very fortunate to have his own. We saw these dugouts from down here out of Redwoods, but look at the Ainu dugouts, kind of similar in Koichi. Yeah, the Ainu canoes were very similar to... So Dr. Hibu is taking three of these books over for Koichi and other friends we met there. We saw some of the Jamong Museums, but Ed got to help him quite a bit with their ancient baskets. They didn't know quite everything about the Cedar Barton baskets he was able to explain because he makes them. And that's what you're talking about there, Ed. Oh, yeah. That's how you carry your rent there or something. Of course. So he's learning from this master bamboo weaver. I really liked it. I really enjoyed it. And then this is a replica of a 7,000-year-old bucket. Himegashu, what's the name of this site? And that's up in Kyushu down south. Higashinyo. Yeah? Higashinyo. Yeah, Higashinyo. But those are 7,000-year-old baskets. I can't hear you. I always hated taking roll in class because I'm awful with names, but anyway. These are an acorn pit, just like we found in Sunken Village at Portland, so that's why the Japanese crew sponsored us to do that dig. The National Historic Landmark site, but we couldn't get any federal people to even be interested with the Japanese sponsored it. The tribes took notice of that. That's perfect. This fellow here, Bruce Miller, he's, I think he brought it out in that statement. What does the maker of the basket want you to know? And the fact that artists like the basket maker might be the only conduit or the only link to this information in the past, of which Coast Salaries people today remain connected to the ancestors by these baskets that were found in these wet sites. And when I'm weaving those baskets, I can almost feel the presence of their hands helping my hands weave a nice-looking basket. So this is the whole Salish, it's a book, it's sort of like the layers of the whole Salish identity for 4,500 years. How many of us can look at that? Say that sort of thing. We got the Peace and Friendship Award, the Washington State Historical Peace and Friendship Award, and the Thomas Jefferson Medal was designed to when Lewis and Clark came out west, why they had that medal to give to the Native, the Indian people, as they met them coming out. So that Peace and Friendship Award. But you have to be working together. You have to be a Native, working with a non-Native to be qualified to get that award.  And it kind of says for promoting the diversity of Washington State, that the person who wrote the nomination is Barbara here, who's Suquamish's head of the Elder's Chair Committee. But she said they're spreading diversity, you know, the promoting the diversity of Washington and around the world to the Indian and Indian. This is their chair, Leonard Forrestman of Suquamish, the fat one, you know. Oh, that picture there, that's where I do my weaving in my home there. Now this is a studio where he teaches. You might, I just brought this little basket for curiosity because it relates to fishing, it relates to whaling. That black piece on the wall there, that's a baleen plate out of a big bowhead whale up in Alaska. And another basket weaver friend of mine challenged me to weave a baleen basket out of that plate.  So I thought I'd bring that. But those were woven up in Alaska by the natives up there. And that weaving came into being when the bandsaw came in because that plate, you can only bandsaw it into the quarter inch strips. And then once you get those bandsawed out, then you can split it lengthwise. Otherwise you can't split it without bandsawing the quarter inch pieces out. So then they started making these beautiful baleen baskets up there back in the old, probably the early, right at the turn of the century, the early 1900s. And so it was probably the best thought I ever had in my life. I was reassessing those 2000 no-baths. And I thought, why don't I ask Ed Carey or challenge him to make those two? I'd do. He would just be biting at the bit to do it. He's that kind of personality. And that was the best idea of my life. And that made my retirement pass. But thanks, does there any? But we would certainly take questions and any questions? Yeah. I'm curious about the weaving, the basket that you found up in Canada that was 3,000, 4,000 years old. You said that you had not seen that pattern before. Was that just one piece, maybe the production of one weaver? Or did you find several pieces so there was a pattern used by that truck? Well, that site has very few baskets. Most of these in that test have at least 60, 80, 100. That one didn't. But that's as old as we have. And it's a big piece. I think they just found the one piece. So it might have been just that one person that went to buy this, but they got it. That's it there, but it's big. You know, it's a huge piece of peck basket. It's a large piece. Thanks, now. Glad you could come, glad I caught you on the whole evening. Yeah. Other questions? Yeah, so you guys are both talking about the forest with the cedar and some of the other trees. Obviously, you're using different parts of that to make the baskets. So how much management is that in jail?   Do you take care of those trees? And is that something that's long lived up there in the Washington area? I didn't quite hear very well. It's the management of the trees. Oh, yeah. You know, and how in order to really get the kind of roots and other, what do you do to do that? And do you think that that has antiquity? Yeah, I try to manage the forest there and plant little cedar trees. And but I try to plant them in a sandy area. Roots in a hard soil are just too crooked. But if this tree goes in a nice sandy hill, you'll get nice, long, straight roots. And so I try to plant these trees. Oh, trees that I planted eight years ago now are up. And I can actually harvest little cedar limbs off of the bottom of those right now and use them in the smaller baskets. And you know that when it comes to taking any of these prickly bark and other things, you have to ask that tree. It has a consciousness. Oh, yeah. Native way is to. A different management than clear cutting without ever saying boo, you know. Native way is to come up to the tree and you say a few prayers and ask it to give up a root or a limb and show respect to the tree before you go and start digging around but the root of the tree, the main root goes out and then these feeder roots come off of it, searching for nutrients. And they'll just go all over. So that's the root to go out there and dig and find those feeder roots and they lead me up to the main root. And so I prune those off and right away it's like pruning a fruit tree, they sprout a new one and start growing again. So you never hurt the tree by harvesting a root off of it. Or the limb too, the limb, it can sprout a new limb there too. So you have to be the botanist. But it's all the things, let me say science and culture. It's a biologist. It's pulling the bark off the tree that bothers me.  So I always look for downed trees and our places that are going to be logged before I gather my cedar bark. That has a question. Can I just have a comment? I think while you're down here you need to take Mike Fouda around the Bay because obviously he's missed. He's in front of the website. I definitely agree with that. I missed a lot of things. But yeah, if you have to drink, I've got a couple different places out there. Look over the landscape. He can say what he wants you to do. You've got to take Mike Fouda. It's true, it's nice, it's true. No, it's interesting and we don't do website archaeology at all down here. And after Washington, Oregon, they've done fabulous, fabulous work. And yeah, it's interesting, different training, different ways you're looking at the landscape. Yeah, we can learn a lot. Fouda, a couple other items here.  And they could just throw the water out of the canoe with a little canoe baler like this. And then I was digging up on the property and I hit this stone and this chip broke off of it. And these ancient clams were in there. I had no doubt these clams are millions of years old. And they look just like our steamer clams, only they're long and skinny rather than round. Our steamer clams are kind of round, oblong shape. But these are long and skinny clams. And then when our people, a wool fishnet out of maybe nettle fiber cordage, and then they tied up a little anchor rock, they found a crotch in the tree and they found rock on the beach and they cut some wild cherry bark and bound it there. Then they could tie these along the bottom of their net for a lid line that we have today. So if you've found that, either we find them in the 3,000. All you find is that pebble and you wouldn't think it was any different than this wouldn't have. Can I ask you a question about netting, making netting? Like you talked about the baskets needing a frame. I'll get you right there. You talked about the baskets making the frame. Do you think the people had some kind of a gauge to make netting? Or do you think it was just done like you make your baskets just by all? They had this little gauge. They carved this little net and they could put their cordage in it. And then when they released one length and tied, they're not. The net was a gauge, depending on how big that net needle was. And was that made of wood, do you think? And that was made out of a hard wood, yeah, that they carved like a nettle fiber. Like you would make it really strong. And I'm sure the angular name nettle comes from a connection with net making. And I really prefer the nettle fiber to dogbane or the fireweed stem too. But nettle fiber is really, really super stuff to work with. Peels off real easy and really strong. Can I ask you one more question about net gauges? Could they have been used bone like a rib from a large fish or an animal, a deer or something? Do you ever see any evidence of using a rib bone or a bone, I should say, for a net gauge? Or is it always just a thin piece of hard wood? I don't know. Archaeologically? I don't think so. I don't remember any. You know, in wet sites, you do find little wooden squares that were gauges just to make sure your not distance was correct. And those are made of wood? Wooden, yeah. Yeah, wood. There's a lot of things for wood you never see. Yeah. But that isn't possible. I mean, you certainly could take a bone and get a gauge and then just do it. I don't even remember.  No, the baskets. All for the hard basket? No, the baskets are all hand woven, with your fingers and but a hard coil basket. You have to have an all.  And then you pull the top coil tight against the bottom coil.  That's going to take a lot of time. We'll be around in an hour for that all afternoon. So let me keep going until then.


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece well except for today. Because numbers have been achieved and there is now a mighty four and a five at the beginning of this channel's subscribe account, followed by three other numbers no less, meaning that we must celebrate by featuring some more of your best channel comments. Enjoy. And to commence things on this fine day, I find that I have to call out Lucas Flaming here, who was trying to seek refuge on my channel.  Next up is Caesar Salvador, who had a rebuttal to my recent video on the Toggetoginomi, also known as the Spike Spike Fruit. Bill Cosby has the Spike Spike Fruit and you know, while that may be true, Bill Cosby actually possesses the Spike Spike Fruit model Rohypno. It's a very different type of fruit from misdouble fingers altogether. But moving into more wholesome territory, we have Hengis, with a delightful observation in regards to the powers of a certain member of the worst generation. I'd say Scratchmanopu has the best tasting devil fruit because he can make some sweet jams. And I find it very, very difficult to argue with that logic. Thankfully to balance things out, we now have a comment completely devoid of logic from Prizo Mui.  Vivid is part of Puffy, are you tripping? And to be honest, I think I am. I think I am tripping because the more I read the second part of that comment, the less sense it makes. And the same sort of response could also be applied to this comment from Ramsi Enoko. Haki and Kum Kum Fruit makes Luffy very strong. And then of course we just have to take a step back and realize that no, it was not Luffy who ate the Kum Kum Fruit because it was actually Charlotte Opera. Now recently in the manga, we've been treated to the Majesty of the Wanoak and don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything, but the former leader of CP9, Spandam, who is apparently a viewer of the channel, who knew, had this to say on the matter. One Piece is officially a better ninja manga than Naruto. Shots fired there. But moving into the anime now, and this channel has recently begun a closer inspection on the animated medium, resulting in the ignition of the old school anime versus manga debate. And I would now like to present a mighty two count them two reasons why the anime may be better. The first of which comes from Simpleton S-Man. The anime does filler episodes way better than the manga. And I can't fault Simpleton there, although to be fair, Long Ring Long Land did also exist in the manga, so arguably the manga does filler just that little bit better. But we also have another argument coming from the well of wisdom that is Drake Chihast. Anime is always better because I can't read. By which I assume he means that dub anime is always better because, you know, with anything else you'd need to be able to read subtitles or understand Japanese. However, given everything that we know of Drake so far, I seriously doubt the latter. But to cap off this anime praise, we have Easy Breezer, who was extraordinarily pleased with episode 870, also known as the Snake Man episode.  Hashtag, better than porn. However, that did come with a rather important caveat. Being honest watching this episode is probably 10 minutes more fun than I would have had with the models anyway. A brutally honest self-assessment from Easy Breezer. But now it's time for this week's edition of What Were You Doing Whilst Watching My Videos, featuring special guest appropriate account. Mr. Account, if that is indeed your real name, what have you been doing whilst viewing the channel?  And I feel honoured, I think. You know what, I'm not sure actually. In fact, I'm going to repress the fact that I had ever read that comment as we get down to business. Last week you were all asked a semi-important question by Mad Master 001, and that question was, if you could invite one of the straw hats to dinner, who would you pick? And Mad Master 001, we appear to have our answers commencing with Oliver Harms. I would invite Zoro because he would get lost on the way to dinner, and I wouldn't have to pay for two, because let's face it, I'm broke. Some fine frugal reasoning there. But next up we have Random, who is also planning this hypothetical dinner in a strategic manner. I'd invite Luffy. That way I'll lose weight by not getting a chance to eat. Or starve to death. I don't know. Random there equating losing weight and starving to death as a win-win situation. Heading into more civilised territory though, we have Anna X. Eric Forever, who chose the ever-delightful musician of the crew to dine with. I would invite Brooke because we could bond over Takoyaki playing instruments and skull jokes. And for the record, I am a woman who would not mind telling Brooke the colour and style of her panties. No peep show though. P.S. Who won the Skeleton Beauty Contest? No body. Skull joke. I added the laugh there because I thought it was pretty essential. And next up we have Laura, Knight of Tauna, who has a very specific fantasy to live out. I would love to have dinner with Jinbei. I could make a croquembush and have him throw it in my mouth. And hey, I guess it worked for Big Mom, so why not you? But speaking of Jinbei, our final answer comes from SuperAB Positive, who states, Jinbei, somebody's gotta remember he's a straw hat. And with that we are going to call this question somewhat satisfactorily answered. And move on to the next need-to-know inquiry, which this time I warn you is a little bit abstract. And it comes from You Can't Beat A Loof Boneless Or Not Boneless. So yeah, good luck answering that. But that pretty much does it for this edition of the best channel comments.

Often when something mysteriously stops working, a blown fuse is to blame. Fuses protect devices from too much current, bravely sacrificing themselves to keep your electronics safe. Fortunately, they're inexpensive and easy to replace. You can tell when a glass fuse needs replacing by looking to see if the inner wire conductor is broken. But ceramic fuses are a bit more opaque. You can always use a multimeter's continuity test to check the fuse. Remove the fuse from its original circuit. Then set your multimeter to continuity, beep mode, and make sure it's working. Then connect one lead to each side of the fuse. If you don't hear a beep, that means the fuse is beeped, so you should replace it. But if you do hear a tone, then this fuse ain't blown. Yeah, this one's still good.
