Yup’ik grass baskets decorated with seal gut represent a masterful, centuries-old Alaskan Native art form. While there is minimal public archiving or active documentation specifically connecting an individual artist named Carrie Paul to these pieces, weavers from families in Southwest Alaska villages—such as Kipnuk—frequently craft these highly valued items.
