Respected madam, In Bihar also, we make same basket, But if you give shape of shopping bag with handle, first give base and cover all around in oval shape , put double handle on both the sides, inside and outside. Total we must have four handle. When handle is strong products last for longer periods and people also feel safe while putting load in basket. Visit Mauritius site or Malagasaka site for preparing basket. Please note that one basket must enter in another for transportation facilities. Such aritical have good commercial value. Namh shivay.

Have respect for others. Many of our Tribal members have lost their ways. Female don't wear buns anymore. Fake nails, make up, lip stick, tattoos, tight leggings, listening to country music. hanging out at bars, casinos & dancing to local country bands. Look around you. Our language and culture is disappearing under our eyes. Our traditional Hozho path is diminishing. I still honor and practice my morning traditional white corn offering and keep my long hair.
