"Native Family Strength" basket by Natalie Kirk, Judge's Choice
Award recipient.
Recipient of the Judge's Choice
award wasNatalie Kirkforherbasket,
"Native Fuirii!yStrength,"made with '
corn husk, rafia and wax linen. Her
basket consists of designs of people,
animals, feathers and wasco patterns.
The people at the top of the basket
represent Natalie, Obedt, and her
three daughters. She uses a feather to
separate the people pattern. Included
in her basket are animals such as:
deer, butterflies, dog and cat. She
uses a Wasco pattern in all her
baskets.
Natalie likes to look at old patterns
from long ago in books or artifacts at
the Museum where she is employed.
She was taught by Eraina Palmer
two years ago to make the Root bags,
or Wapas bags. Eraina has taught
many community members" her
knowledge of the contemporary root
bags. Eraina and all her students have
learned to use many different kinds
of materials after learning to make a
bag.
Eraina is very proud of Natalie
receiving the Judge's Choice Award.
Eraina taught Selena Boise how to
make the basket that won her the
Judge's Choice Award two years ago.
"The art of basketweaving will
continue to flourish with people like
ErainaPalmer, who is willing to teach
it," says Selena Boise.

be a great time to bring out the
beautiful beadwork you wore when
