that was donated to CAM had a tag describing the technique used to make
them, but did not specify what Native American Nation. Obviously it would be
a culture in the American desserts, but you still would have to look at
cultures in a good part of 2 continents. Anyone with more specific
knowledge. I would like to know also. The rainstick we have was brought back
by a patron from New Mexico, but was obviously a tourist item.
