Two women near a mat shelter, Skokomish, 1912

The Skokomish people have traditionally lived along Hood Canal. They moved to the nearby Skokomish Reservation after the Treaty of Point-No-Point (1855). Like other Puget Sound tribes, their lives were centered around the water. The Skokomish are known for their fine cedar baskets. In this 1912 photo by Edward Curtis, two Skokomish women sit by a summer shelter covered with cattail mats. The two baskets with the zigzag, wolf, and dog patterns were made by twining cedar bark (dark) and beargrass (light) on a cattail warp. A cedar canoe sits nearby. *Subjects (LCTGM): Baskets; Canoes; Dwellings; Skokomish Indians
