Description: Cree Indian Handmade Duck Goose Decoys - Tamarack Twig Sculpture Folk Art 6” X 5” Canadian Indian Tamarack Twig Goose Handcrafted Cree Folk Art Handcrafted of Tamarack twigs with twig legs. Very good condition. "Tamarack goose decoys are delicate wood sculptures of various sizes made, not by carving, but by binding the fragrant twigs of the tamarack tree into a likeness of the Canada goose. For centuries, the Cree had fished, trapped and hunted, making use of ingenious ruses such as the coarse willow-twig decoys. Hunters made these lures for the spring hunt by forming a ball of twigs into a body core then covering them with an outer layer of longer twigs in the shape of a goose, with a large open "eye" in the head. When seen against the snow, the eye mimicked the white cheek patch of the Canada goose."
