New salmon leather products mean every part of the salmon is used, similar to the tradition of the Northwest Coast Native peoples
(ContentDesk) October 28 2003--Founded in 1978 by Kurt & Francine Tripp, avid collectors of Alaskan art, Ivory Jack's Trading Company offers everything from authentic Northwest Coast Art and prehistoric Woolly Mammoth ivory jewelry to stone & fossil bone sculpture created by several well-known regional carvers including Chupak, Chhem & Charles Carnahan.
Salmon leather tells the story of an ancient culture living in the remote yet lush coastal wilderness.
Northwest natives revered the salmon and showed their respect for this resource in legend and song and by using every part of the salmon in their daily life.
The abundance of the varied salmon species created a lifestyle of art and leisure virtually unknown to any other tribal group in the world.
Absolutely no part of the salmon was left unused.
Unknown to nearly everyone but the tribes that still inhabit the Northwest coasts of Alaska, Canada and Washington State, salmon leather is a durable and beautiful material that rivals the strength of regular cow hide."Salmon leather is an exotic leather without the guilt," explains Tripp.
"It's all part of an ongoing tradition begun thousands of years ago by natives that believed that no part of any fish or animal taken for nourishment should be wasted."Producing salmon leather requires hours of arduous and thorough tanning to create a unique and beautifully crafted product.
Since no two salmon are quite the same, each product, taken from Chum Salmon after the meat has been processed, is unique in its appearance. The leather is then dyed to create contemporary colors and finally crafted into the supple quality wallets, purses, checkbook covers, business card holders and keychains now offered at Ivory Jack's.
These salmon leather products may be purchased at www.ivoryjacks.com.Contact:

Women's Liberation
(ContentDesk) July 20, 2004 -- Women continue to make steady progress towards equality in the workplace. Now women are making progress towards equality on the home front. How? By tapping into their resources, including their husbands. Increasingly, men and women are both juggling the demands of a career and a family. The demands are not equal, however.
Traditionally, women have been the primary caregivers. Still so today. Relinquish that role? Never. We have the natural instincts. But share that role? Now, that makes some sense.The challenge? Let's face it: Most men are not very domestic.
Organize the power tools? Mow the lawn? Great. But change the baby, that's a different story altogether. Not that men don't want to be helpful. They do (really). They just don't always know (or understand) what to do, especially concerning babies, particularly infants.Here's my secret: Help him liberate you.
Impossible? Absolutely not. Give him the tools to be helpful, starting...
