Northwest Coast baskets is an intricate woven container created by Indigenous peoples along the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, from Alaska to northern California. These baskets are renowned for their functionality, beauty, and cultural significance, often serving as tools for gathering, cooking, storage, and ceremonies. 

Powell River, a coastal city in British Columbia's qathet Regional District (formerly Powell River Regional District), is deeply tied to this tradition through the Tla’amin Nation (formerly Sliammon), a Coast Salish group whose territory includes the area. The Tla’amin have a rich history of cedar root basketry, blending practical design with geometric patterns that reflect mathematical precision and artistic expression.
