Wicker - A Native American wicker basket is a container woven from plant materials, using a technique where flexible twigs or shoots are interlaced to create a strong and durable structure. basket weavers utilize locally available plant materials like pine needles, cedar bark, willow, sedge, conifer roots, grasses, ferns, and yucca, among others. Historically, the baskets were essential for daily life, used for carrying, storing food and belongings, and even cooking, as some were coated with pitch to hold water. Baskets also play a significant role in ceremonies, weddings, and other rites of passage, often carrying symbolic designs and patterns.
