With strong colors in designs of Canoes with men. The Nootka and Makah make very similar baskets.
The Nootka (nut'-kah), also known as the Nuu-chah-nulth, were North American Indians who lived along the seaward coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, and the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state.
Owners notes: "In 1971, while taking a vacation with friends on their 44' yacht, we came to Nootka on Vancouver Island. When we got off the boat, locals came up and I asked if anyone had baskets. A woman quickly ran back to her home and shortly thereafter came with an armload of baskets of which I bought them all. Most of the baskets were newer, but a few were older. Many more Nootka came to our boat, fascinated with it, but after we bought all the baskets they had, they left to go to town to buy things."
