For several millennia, the Native Americans living in the region that became North Carolina fashioned utilitarian and decorative objects from the trees and plants surrounding them. The abundance of pine trees in the region led to the use of pine needles to make baskets and other objects. Pine needle objects made with coiled techniques have European, African, and Native American origins.". Very Good- .
