General Note
Marion Bowers, who lives on the Seminoles' Brighton Reservation, learned to make palmetto stem baskets from her mother more than sixty years ago. The baskets are an older style than the coiled baskets that are usually made by Seminoles today. Bowers is one of the few Seminoles who maintains this vanishing art form.
