English: Native American women making baskets, February 1926 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: The women from coastal Washington's native tribes are known for their basketry. They made twined, coiled and plaited baskets for gathering clams and berries, storing and serving food and many other purposes. Basketry techniques were also used for hats and other clothing. By the 1920s, many of the baskets they made were for the tourist trade.
This 1926 photo shows five women making baskets on a beach, probably on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Numerous twined, coiled and plaited baskets lie on the blanket in front of them. The photo may have been taken at Tahola, on the Quinault Reservation.
