In today episode I am going to show you how to weave Namibian baskets. Basket weaving is a traditional technique used for decades among different tribes in Namibia for domestic use, specifically popular among Aawambo, Kavango and Caprivian people.
Different patterns are used to create beautiful artwork of the baskets meant for different household use, such as serving of meals etc.
Baskets are made in different designs(dye) and sizes. You can learn how to weave and keep your masterpiece.

This is the coolest process I’ve ever seen! I loved seeing how you get your leaves off the plant and even how you gathered different materials to change the color. I’m in America, and most things are just at the store, but this was way cooler. Wow, I’m amazed! Your process is beautiful!!

I’m fascinated with these videos I really enjoyed listening and watching your video and you have natural instinct for explaining the important things and it’s appreciated. I hope to learn much more from you. I’m still laughing at when you told us to get a useless tin, it was funny

p.s. it's extra special how you show how you gather the supplies. I live in Washington State USA I hope to find something I can make me a basket from. I saw these in a photo and immediately went to youtube to see if I could see how they were made and with great luck found this video. I love how you tell us if you see 3 bricks that's our stove. I wish I had one of those stone grinders you ground the bark with, I hope to find one here. I guess you keep the boiled ones in a jar so they'll stay flexible then? Thank you so much again! Our people of the earth have boundless beauty and talent!!!!

Because you asked for us to engage with you .. I think your voice is easy to listen to and the video is very informative. I enjoyed watching your friend because I do a little weaving and I want to learn more. (Not an expert like you) so you are using the outer ' bark ' of the tree root. I wish I knew what the western/botanical name of the tree is. Western people call the leaf that is attached to the needle is a veaver. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge. I hope you make another video. Take care and thank your friend for her weaving.

@velboyd5483 11 ай бұрын

Hello friend. You asked what the words are in English. I think you took 'epidermis' from the tree roots. The outer layer of the roots. Tree bark, the skin, and the epidermis of the roots contain 'tannin', tannins are bitter and dark colored. You used a pounder bowl, called a 'mortar', and your pounder stick is a 'pestle'. You ground the tree epidermis with charcoal to make a powder. Then you made a 'decoction', by boiling the tree and charcoal powder to extract the tanins. You used the charcoal because it is acidic, and it helps to break down the root epidermis of the tree, releasing the tannins. Which creates your beautiful dye. Thank you so much for your wonderful video. It is beautiful to see how you live, and to be able to learn your cultural basket weaving. Not all young people are interested in the old traditional ways. But some of us are. I am not young anymore, but I love to learn the old ways. I always have. I try to teach the young people I meet when they are interested. Thankbyou again beautiful Lady, for your video, and for explaining as best you can. Your voice is lovely and your English is wonderful. I understand how difficult it is to learn language in school, and not know how to express things in the correct terms well. I do hope you will see my comment, and that it helps you as you have helped me. I wish you and your community health and prosperity.

As requested: palm leaves are called 'fronds'; I'm not sure if it's still bark if the covering is on the roots, but I'd go with 'bark' for the tree covering; the pounding bowl and stick would be called a 'mortar and pestle'.
