Two woman working to gather the salt. The salt is harvested from the bottom of the lake usually by men who place it in a canoe. Then a worker, usually a woman carries the sand to shore in a 130 lb basin on her head. The basin is transferred 3 or more times in the trek to the shore, almost like a relay race.
