Fishing creel basket with attached lid. The basket is constructed of coil weaving with an irregular curved rectangular base, concave back and convex sides creating a bulge at the centre of basket narrowing to rounded rectangular mouth. Imbricated with insect designs in red and black bark. The lid is attached by two rawhide ties. There is a rectangular hole woven in the centre of the lid. There is a small slit in the front edge of the lid, and just below the rim of the basket. The interior is plain. (A brown shoelace has been tied to the back of the basket.)
Burden basket with tumpline. Small, square base; basket walls flare toward rim, with a slightly curved profile. Black and red cherry bark imbrication is used to create linear designs with deep ‘V’ shapes on all sides. Hide thong loops, tied through near the rim, hold a tumpline made of red and grey wool and braided cedar bark.
Open-weave basket with a tumpline fibre strap attached. The basket is rectangular, with a slightly rounded base, walls flaring gently outward toward a thick, wrapped rim. Short cords are attached at each corner to hold the tumpline strap, or handle, which is a braid of many thin cotton strands. At the centre of the wool strap, strips of cotton fabric in green, pink and other colours are tightly woven in, to create padding.
Abalone shell with exterior covered by basketry, conforming closely to its contours and secured over shell edges. Decorated with a dark blue rectangular ovoid at centre, two canoes and flying bird shapes in green or brown, and mouse-like animals in pinkish-red or brown arranged around central area. Around the edge are concentric stripes of yellow, red and brown.
Basket sampler showing four sections of different types of basket weaving. Openwork basket is tall and rectangular, with a rounded base and walls that flare slightly toward rim. Large loops are attached at the upper layer, through which are passed two tumpline ropes that serve as a handle. A skinned ermine is sewn to the handle (with its nose and whiskers still present). Cedar oil was applied to the basketry after completion.
Set of three detached bentwood chest panels. Front and back panels have stylized imagery painted in black and red across entire surface. Cross-hatching can be seen in several areas. Several large stitches of cedar root can be seen along the right side of one panel. The shorter side panel shows four faint painted lines in a rust-red colour, running from bottom left corner upwards toward opposite side's midpoint. Faint suggestions of other lines above. On right edge are cracks where wood has been bent, and an undercut on the backside of the old bend. All three pieces have hanging hardware on the back.
