[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 9410608, member: 63"]It depends - a carving with lots of colours and people are all over it, but items like this and not so much. With the fading of colours the baskets drop even lower on the radar of pickers/buyers which is good for me:) Kind of sad, I think they are wonderful pieces, and yes, the colour fading is the pits, but the workmanship of the basket is lovely, they feel good to touch:) Plus they can hold all kinds of little treasures:) thanks komokwa :) [USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] said the same in 2015 [I]One thing Gogol does talk about is the close association between the tribes. He mentions, for example, that although bear grass doesn't grow on Vancouver Island, "even today some Nootka and Nitinat weavers buy or trade for bear grass or dyes at Neah Bay, and one can see Nootka baskets being sold by Makah weavers there." Which pretty much means, unless you actually know the name and tribal affiliation of the weaver of a particular basket, it may not be possible to label it one or the other. Which is why they are often referred to simply as "Nootka/Makah."[/I] I'll list them as Nootka/Makah:)[/QUOTE]
