This handcrafted tamarack bird decoy features the classic folded-wing design traditionally used in Cree tamarack decoy making. Carefully woven from tamarack twigs using methods passed down through generations, each bird carries the distinctive rounded body and tucked-wing profile that has made this style iconic.

Tamarack decoys were originally created as functional hunting tools. Their natural colour and texture blended seamlessly with the northern landscape, helping hunters attract waterfowl. Today, they are celebrated as meaningful cultural artworks — symbols of Cree craftsmanship, ingenuity, and connection to the land.

Every bird is shaped entirely by hand, resulting in natural variations that make each piece unique.
