The Red Feather project is extremely important; it is truly making a difference.' Jane Goodall For more than a decade the Red Feather Development Group, a volunteer based organization, has built and repaired straw bale houses for Native Americans. Somewhere along the way and this was certainly not the plan they created an architectural phenomenon: This inexpensive, environmentally sound, easily constructed, and downright beautiful form of building has, for good reason, caught the public's imagination. Here, Red Feather provides a step by step, easy to follow manual for would be strawbale builders indeed, they supply everything you'll need but time, energy, and lots and lots of straw. Informative sections on safety, design, tools, and materials, and case studies picked from over thirty five Red Feather projects give a comprehensive overview to straw bale building.

It is also the inspiring story of Red Feather itself, a tale of community action and cooperation that suggests a can do solution to the growing housing crisis on America's Native American reservations.
