This mini handcrafted tamarack bird decoy sits atop a natural birch wood base, showcasing traditional Cree craftsmanship in a compact, elegant form. Made from tightly woven tamarack twigs, each bird reflects the beauty of nature and the patience of handwork passed down through generations.
Tamarack decoys were once used as functional duck decoys during hunting, where their natural materials blended seamlessly with northern landscapes. Today, they are admired as cultural artworks and decorative pieces, connecting traditional knowledge and artistry from Eeyou Istchee to homes across the world.
