Amerindians Craft-work

The Amerindians are talented people. They are skilled in

producing a variety of craft items by using materials from
the forest plants. They use the tibisiri, mucru, nibbi and
awara straw to make hammocks, sifters, matapi, pieces of
furniture and mats.
They also use coloured beads from plants to make
necklaces and armbands which they wear mainly on
special occasions.
They decorate their craft-work with these beads. Some of
them also carve the trunks of trees to make ornaments.
They use the bark and fruits of some trees to make a dye
with which they colour their craft-work.
