Thompson River Baskets are traditional coiled and imbricated basketry created by the Nlaka'pamux (also historically known as the Thompson River Salish or Thompson Indians), an Indigenous First Nations people from the Interior Salish language group in south-central British Columbia, Canada. These baskets originate from the regions along the Fraser, Thompson, and Nicola Rivers.
