Up here folks give out a yard or two fo calico or some shirt cloth, Baskets and cigeretts. Lighters,Candy,hankerchifs are big! Any kind of cantainer with a lid is valued high! Tuperware is a big item up here. spools of 50 cent ribbon. Smoked salmon, Berries. Pop or jiuces. Lemons. oreanges, and apples. Blankets are usually for high ranking folks up here. Only the headman and woman and MC or folks that you know personaly get thoughs. I think its a good time to Hit the 99cent stores! Its really common to be walkin into a dollar store up here and find that the whole store is full of Indians gettin giveaway stuffs. Up here, if you need to know who's haven a comin out, just swing by the old 99 cent store and you see the family pickin up goods.
Bowls and mostly containers are the biggest things in these parts.
take care.
