A light brown coloured fan woven out of plant fibres. The bottom of the fan curves around to a point at both sides and then curves up to a point at the top. Half of the fan is concave, and the other half of the fan is convex. The design is that of a darker black plant fibre having eight alternating rows emanating at a curve from the embedded handle point. The handle is wrapped around with an orange-brown braided plant fibre rope.
A long rectangular cedar plank with faded Northwest Coast designs imprinted in the surface of the wood; black and red designs are barely perceptible. Cedar bark stitching and/or the accompanying holes at top and bottom ends of the board. Large area of rotted wood in the plank's centre. Uniform chisel marks and longitudinal cracks cover the underside.
A light brown cover with some of the bark dyed red to create a design. The sides have an alternating pattern of vertical lines and a floral design within a diamond-shape. The bottom has a four-pointed star with a flower on top of a spiral in the centre, and four flowers in between the points of the star. The rim is wrapped with a silvery foil covered over by red-dyed bark in equal rectangular intervals to create an alternating pattern. Dark brown fibre is wrapped around and stitched around the rim.
A tall circular brown bark container decorated with dyed quills. The design consists of two flowers with green stems and leaves. One flower is red outlined with purple, and the other flower is purple outlined with red. Both flowers have a brown dot in the centre surrounded by a red five-pointed middle with two brown lines emanating from in between each point. The top and the bottom of the container are overlapped with a strip of bark that has a curved semi-circle pattern facing the centre. The bottom and the top of the container, as well as the sides of the lid, are rimmed with bark strips that are perpendicular to the rim lines. There are strips of soft hide attached to the sides of the container and the lid.
An oval box (part a) and lid (part b) covered in geometric quillwork. On top of the lid there is a black diamond-shaped pattern outlined with blue. The central diamond has orange vertical and horizontal lines in the centre. The outer partial diamonds have white diagonal lines in a feather-shape. The background is white with orange triangles and blue lines. Around the sides of the lid is an alternating pattern of white diamond-vertical line-dot-vertical line-diamond. Along the sides of the container are zigzag lines starting with white and orange at the top all the way down to blue, black, white, red, and blue and orange on the bottom.
A loom with a lightly coloured wood bow which curves and has a tan hide piece attached at one end and the strings for the weaving tied at the other end. One piece of bark separates the strings from each other as they are threaded through its holes, and another piece of bark is used to compress the quills used to create the weave design. The weave pattern alternates between yellow squares with a blue inner line and a green outer line, and green and red squares witha yellow inner line and a blue outer line. The background is white with a red line along the edges. The back of the hide reads "Dorothy Minoza / Fort ____ / N. W. T. / April 24/77"
Bag-like basket with triangular flap top lid. Weave is of wide strips of bark; some visible squares of weave have coloured fabric squares sewn to them; two strips of felt - one red, one blue - are included in the weave that runs parallel to the diagonal edges of the top of the bag and the flap; a knotted rope is attached to the centre of the tip of the flap and wraps around a flat stick with rounded ends as a closure method.
Piece of cloth detached from a cradle puppet. A roughly pennant-shaped piece of white cloth painted with a design in black. A small piece of wood is tied to the upper right corner.
A long rectangular cedar plank with faded Northwest Coast designs imprinted in the surface of the wood; segments of black and red designs are visible over the entire surface. Several longitudinal cracks both ends. Small holes in the surface. Cedar bark stitching at both ends. Chisel marks, longitudinal cracks and black patch-like accretions on the plank's underside.
