Thorny leaves! Embarrassing imports! Basket gossip! Making cool stuff from invasive vines! Renowned weaver and teacher, James C. Bamba, connected more deeply with his Mariana Island heritage through weaving and shares how you know when plant fiber is ready, the anatomy of a coconut tree, how to look a gift basket in the mouth, the baskets that he cherishes the most, how to design with your mind, what he thinks about when he’s weaving, basket jokes he hates the most, and when learning another culture’s craft is appropriate or appropriation. Follow James on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ginenguahan/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>A donation went to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/skchamoru/" target="_blank">Sagan Kotturan Chamoru</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/canistrumology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ethnoecology">Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/2018/5/7/wdppyiv1wrcs8gchoslvhhuuboanau">Dendrology (TREES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenousfashionology">Indigenous Fashionology (NATIVE CLOTHING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology">Indigenous Cuisinology (NATIVE COOKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouspedology">Indigenous Pedology (SOIL SCIENCE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/heliology">Heliology (THE SUN/ECLIPSES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neuroendocrinologyencore">Neuroendocrinology (SEX & GENDER)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ergopathology">Ergopathology (BURNOUT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/corvid-thanatology">Corvid Thanatology (CROW FUNERALS)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
