IMG_8020.jpg [34/66] Caption: Tighter view of the Maidenhair...a handsome plant. It is called tlotlotc'sa'dit ...which means dry fern...by the Lummi Indians. The leaves of this plant were ground and mixed with water to make a treatment for hair by Lummi women. It was said to produce shiny, beautiful hair...hence the name "Maidenhair" fern. The black midrib along the leaves was also used as an artful dark accent in weaving baskets.
