Makah basketry from Neah Bay is a highly celebrated Pacific Northwest Coast art form, moving from functional utility to a thriving "trinket basket" economy in the 1860s. Historically, because the Makah did not produce pottery, they relied on expertly woven baskets for gathering, cooking, and water storage.
