Difficult to discern design; it is most apparent around the lip and the base. On the bottom exterior of the basket, there are concentric circles colored red. Rim has been broken in several places but is stabilized by early repair. Typed note inside basket says: "30. Basketry Storage Vessel. Tribe: Interior Salish or Klickitat, B.C. & WA. Design: utility vessel w/no apparent design pattern; splints of cedar or bundles of cedar roots and/or grasses make up the coil materials surface imbrication adds rigidity to the basket. Size: 9 1/4" h., 16" x 12" flattened oval. Condition: irreparably poor." A second handwritten note with basket says "No. West Coast, Thompson River?"plain2018-03-16T21:06:36-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

The head-dress of buffalo horns and scalp is not characteristic of the Salish tribes, but of the plains Indians.plain2018-03-16T21:11:45-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

Excepting as the cold made some protection necessary. The hair of the women was arranged in two knots at the sides of the face ? a method of hairdressing still in vogue among the Salish on Fraser river. Prior to the middle of the century the use of deerskin garments had become common, and gradually other customs such as the style of hairdressing here illustrated, were borrowed from the tribes east of the Rocky mountainsplain2018-03-16T21:11:50-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

At the termination of hostilities Luqaiot made his permanent home among the Spokan, taking for his wife the daughter of a Spokan chief and widow of his executed brother Qahlchun. Luqaiot's recollections of the events of these times will be found scattered through the account of the Yakima war in Volume VII.plain2018-03-16T21:11:50-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

No other garment was worn except when cold or rain made goat-hair or vegetal-fibre blankets or capes desireable.plain2018-03-16T21:11:14-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637
