Northwest: This region includes the Coastal ranges and Klamath Mountains. From the coast, the native population inhabited the redwoods and coastal forests, mountains and valleys and along the rivers including the Eel, Mad, and Klamath rivers. The tribes of this region that we focus on are the coastal Yurok, the northern Karuk and the Hupa Group peoples primarily of the Hoopa Valley (south of the Karuk), which include the Hupa, Chilula and Whilkut. For the most part, the basketry motifs are woven using a half-twist overlay technique. Basketry Identifying Characteristics The Western tribes used half-twistoverlay and the Eastern tribes used full-twist overlay in their motif. Eastern tribes baskets tend to be taller-sided and more simply designed than the Western tribes\' baskets by usingisolated motif elements, although this is not alwaysthe case.
Generally speaking,the Hupa and Chilulamake extensive use of the light colored bear grass againstthe natural brown conifer root, with only modest use of the black and even less red colors in their overlay.
Whilkut baskets, in addition to having both full and half-twist overlay, are generally more colorful, through the use of the red alder dyed or black fern stem.
Yurokbasketry is similar to the Hupa in form and technique, using the half-twist overlay and the same warp and weft materials, but the Yurok normally make much greater use of the black maidenhair fern creatingdenser black patterns; their work is very fine and their variety of forms is extensive.
Karokbasketry is of half twist like the Hupa and Yurok, butmake the most extensive use of red alder dyed fern stem, especially in the field.As the nation’s leading gallery of Antique North American Indian Art and Artifacts, we invite you to consider the beautiful art and artifacts that we list on with full confidence in the authenticity and legality of the item, in the accuracy of the listing, and in the professionalism that we demonstrate in processing each transaction.
