West Coast Eskimo is an indigenous people of Alaska's western and southwestern coastal regions, including the Yup'ik (Yupik) and Unangax̂ (Aleut) communities. These groups, part of the broader Eskimo-Aleut language family, have a rich tradition of basketry dating back centuries. Early examples—primarily from the late 19th to early 20th century—were crafted for practical use in daily life, such as gathering berries, storing food, or carrying items during hunting and fishing. These baskets were often made from locally sourced materials like beach grass (Elymus mollis), sedge roots, or baleen (whalebone), reflecting the harsh Arctic and subarctic environment.
