EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the image of a Chinook Basket Maker from British Columbia, Canada, skillfully weaving a traditional basket in the late 1910s. The Chinook people, also known as the Chinookan Peoples, are an indigenous population with a rich cultural history along the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The use of the term "Kloochman" on this postcard is an example of Chinook Jargon, a trade language that was widely used among various indigenous groups and European settlers in the region. The Chinook Basket Maker is shown wearing a simple yet practical outfit, consisting of a headscarf and a hat, which may have been used to protect her from the elements while working. Basketry was an essential craft for the Chinook people, who used baskets for various purposes such as food storage, transportation, and trade. The intricate patterns and designs on the basket suggest the high level of skill and creativity that went into its creation. The Chinook people have a long and complex history, with a population that once numbered in the tens of thousands. They were known for their trading networks, which extended from the Puget Sound in Washington State to the Columbia River in Oregon and beyond. The Chinook people were also known for their hospitality and generosity, and they played an important role in the early history of the Canadian and American Pacific Northwest. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Chinook people and their traditional crafts. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in British Columbia and the importance of preserving and celebrating the history and traditions of indigenous populations.
