Called 'cattaileaters,' they depended for subsistence on fish, waterfowl, eggs, tule reeds, and cattails. The film focuses on Wuzzie George and members of her family constructing a duck egg bag, cattail house, duck decoy, and tule boat. The narration by Wuzzie's granddaughter and son includes reminiscences of many aspects of traditional Paiute life that have disappeared.
