How To: Net Making

This How-To series covers the intricate details of the making a net.

Making and repairing netting was an important skill to learn as an Algonquin. They relied heavily upon the Chesapeake Bay for food, and a net was one of the simpler ways to catch dinner.

Passed down over hundreds of years, you'll learn a skill worthy of posting on the net.
