The INDEPENDENT, November 7, 2001 Page 9 Klamath Tribes basketry will be featured at High Desert Museum « Since ancient times, the Kla math Tribes of southern Ore gon and northern California have practiced a distinctive basket-making tradition. Using natural fibers such as tules, cattails, willows and porcupine quills, skilled Klamath weavers create winnowing trays, hats, quivers and bowls. In the early part of the 20th century, private collectors and museums recog nized the beauty of these works and gathered them by the hun- household goods, and items of clothing for the Klamath Tribes. After the arrival of European and American traders, basketry also provided a new source of income, and tribal basketry en tered a golden era that lasted from the late 1800s until the Depression in 1930. Basket makers crafted pieces for sale to a growing collectors market, designing tourist trade pieces and working with new styles, dyes and materials available dreds. On Nov. 3, The High Desert Museum, in association with the Klamath Tribes, will open a major exhibit that tells the story of this special basketry. “Twined and Traded: Kla math Tribes Basketry, 1860- 1920” includes a backdrop of contemporary images of the Klamath Basin by photographer Tupper Ansel Blake.
