The Haida
people live on the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) in British Columbia
as well as on Dall and Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. They make
twined spruce root baskets and hats. The baskets have a plain cylindrical shape
decorated with horizontal bands of darkly dyed wefts. Old Haida baskets are
generally not decorated with false embroidery, but Haida weavers today often
incorporate false embroidery in the Tlingit style. Haida hats represent the
best of Haida basketry, with designs woven into the flairing brim by techniques
of three-strand twining, skip-stitch, and braiding.
Sorry, this is not the design motif used on your basket.
