Medium sized picnic style cedar slat basket with a hinged lid. The slats are so fine, they almost look like cedar coil rounds near the top. There are two handles attached with strips of leather. The lid is attached with two strips of leather as a hinge. There also is a leather tie to close the basket, but the bottom strap has broken off. There is black dyed cedar, red cherry bark, and wild grass decorations on the sides and lid. The two wide sides each have two black and red diamonds. All four sides have black and yellow geometric strips. The lid is damaged and the decorations are flaking off. There is a black strip down the center and two arrows pointing in.
Medium sized round cedar basket. The base and top five rounds are made in the cedar coil technique and the sides are made with the cedar slat technique. There is red cherry bark decorations on the sides in the shape of diamonds and triangles. There is translucent crystallized plastic or glue residue on the inside of the basket and white powder. There looks like a small repair was done on the base with beige thread.
Small rectangular cedar slat basket with lid and two detached handles kept inside the basket. The stitching pattern of the basket is even and regular. The handles were attached to the sides and it looks like one was mended with a piece of metal wire. The handle in the center of the lid is detached and missing. The cedar has darkened with age and the red cherry bark decorations are chipping off. It is hard to tell what the original pattern was. The lip on the underside of the basket lid is mostly broken off.
Carved wood totem pole Coqualeetza IRS had a training program that involved some traditional cultral work, where girls wove baskets, spun and knit, and boys learned carving with the hopes that this would help develop work skills, teach technical training, continue some traditional knowledge, and help students sell their goods. This was funded first by the DIA and then by the United Church after 1934. Rev. Raley's resulting collection from this program was used for display at the school as well as for teaching, and later became part of the of UBC's collection at MOA. This painted carving is wood, painted black, yellow, green, and white. Paint type is unknown, may contain arsenic, lead. Handle with care, wear gloves. Base is black with yellow lettering that reads "CHWK 1935", which we interpret as being carved at Chilliwack's Coqualeetza IRS in 1935.
