Basketry
This coiled basket with its rectangular base and flaring sides was a design usually reserved for work baskets. The coiling technique was often used to create baskets with geometric designs. Coiling begins at the center of a basket’s base and grows upon itself in rounds, each attached to the round before. The colored details are applied over the coiled core by folding a strip of grass, bark, or other fiber accordion-style under each sewing stitch on the outer surface of the basket and fastening it securely.

This basket from an unidentified Coast Salish group was probably used to collect clams, mussels, small fish, seaweed and other saltwater resources. The open twined container provided drainage and also helped prevent mold and insect infestation when used for food storage.

Basketry
Originally known as the S'Puyalupubsh, the Puyallup Tribe is part of the Salish speaking people of the Pacific Northwest. Living along the shores of Puget Sound, their basket-making abilities are well-respected and tout a great variety of types and construction techniques. The Salish made baskets for cooking, storage, and sale to non-Native collectors. This example combines both geometric and human forms.

Many traditional basket forms were reduced in size for sale to non-Natives. The design of this small Thompson River Salish basket with an attached lid was most likely based on a larger model originally designed for storage.
