"MAY 21, 2005 - Waxhaw Primitive Technology Club Meeting - 10am-12pm - The topic for May's meeting is 'Bark Berry Buckets'. Native Americans observed that every year, from May-June, Mother Nature worked her magic and 'released' the bark from the poplar tree, making it easy to remove. This was the only time of year they could make bark buckets and containers, to be used all year. Come learn how this was done and make a bark berry bucket of your own to take home!

If you're really hot on this, I'd make a call to whatever Museum this is. Chances are, the instructor did some handouts that he would be willing to send you.
