Tule Land in the restored San Diego River wetlands. Secret tule cattails and willow tree spots to harvest the thatching and willow framing of the ewaa. Harvesting plants in these protected restored areas is prohibited. Abel had to get a special permit for his city project.

Abel chops the correct size willow branches for his ewaa frame using a steel machete. Below he trims and bundles them for transport to the site.






Back at Shumup Ko Hup Indian store, Abel and JB Kingery unload harvested willow branches from JB's 1990 blue Chevy Suburban.

Cattails were harvested and bundled for transportation to the project site in the Old Town San Diego State Park.
