FAQ About Cultural Impact of Puppetry in Indigenous Traditions
What materials are commonly used to create indigenous puppets?
Indigenous puppets are commonly made from materials readily available in the natural environment, such as wood, leather, cloth, and plant fibers. These materials are chosen not only for their availability but also for their cultural symbolism and connection to the land. Craftspeople may use traditional techniques for carving, painting, and assembling puppets, often passed down through generations, to maintain the authenticity of the art form.
