Two baskets made from Southeastern longleaf pine needles from Mississippi made by members of the Puget Salish Tribe in the Northwest are displayed on Dec. 7, 2012. U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Oregon District Conservationist Andrea Mann and USDA NRCS Mississippi soil conservation technician Allen Hughes collaborated to provide basket-weaving materials to the Salish Tribe.
