About this product

Product Information

Buckskin Tanner is the author -- Jaime Jackson! -- who narrates the story of his adventure into natural tanning, beginning in the early 1950s at Disneyland's Indian Village, where, as a young boy, his father took him to meet elder Native Americans brought by Walt Disney to guide park technicians construct the village. This was during the year before the park officially opened. I remember a dialogue between my father and some of the Indians about native tanning and the hide tipis put together there. The women traditionally tanned the hides and sewed them together into tipis. But the hides used here were commercially tanned. I wondered how they did the tanning during the bygone buffalo days. And that is how it all began for me.
