moreso than lately, I suppose. This forum is a wealth of knowledge that i can't get enough of!

I was never aware of Pacific Northwest aboriginal metalwork and I've grown up here almost all my life, so this is a revelation to me! Very interesting. I always seem to stumble upon something new here.

They were the only ones to do this kind of work in steel/iron. The early Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, etc. did some of this work with copper.

That's amazing. I need to read more about this.

Strangely enough, my knowledge of North American Aboriginal history taught to me in elementary and high school, as well as College had its focus more on the Inuit people. I say it's strange, as I grew up (and currently live and study) in Vancouver.
