"In the Spirit of the Ancestors"-This is a hard coiled cooking-style basket, inspired by an old Suquamish basket in the Burke Museum collection (see the Coast Salish Welcome Case in the foyer, cat. no. 2.5E528). The design is a mountain with lightning flashes and icicles. Carriere learned to weave clam baskets from his great-grandmother. He was born, raised, and still lives on the Port Madison Reservation at Indianola, Washington.
