<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 9745565, member: 55&quot;]Yes; the technique apparently originated in the Canary Islands (see &quot;Tenerife baskets&quot;) and was later adopted by a number of Native American tribes, mostly in Florida or Louisiana. One could say it is not a traditional basketry style...but after a couple hundred years, it would seem to have become traditional by adoption perhaps. And for quite a few years, instructions and kits to make this style basket have been widely available, and many are made by non-native craftspersons.&nbsp; So if you have provenance (Like I&#039;ve got a few naming the maker and their tribe) then it is native-made...but many lack provenance and cannot be definitely said to be native.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
