[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4293800, member: 45"]Just saw the "h" was left out in my previous post, and should have said "Pacific Northwest," but I think most people got the idea. I probably could/should have used "Coast Salish" as Komo did. But "Coast Salish" isn't a tribe, it's a group of culturally and linguistically related tribes, over 80 individual tribes, from British Columbia to Oregon. In other words, the Pacific Northwest. Arthur Erickson, in [U]Woven History, North American Basketry[/U], explains one of the main ways of determining the source of similar baskets like this, is by the distinction between a round and an oblong start. The oblong start is associated with western Washington tribes, when it comes to coiled and imbricated baskets. I was just trying to narrow it down a little. Coast Salish is a little broader category than western Washington, but it still is an indication that the specific tribe is difficult to determine, unless one knows who the weaver definitely was.[/QUOTE]
