Nlhaxtsten (Basketry Tray)

These basket makers were students in a class on basket making taught by Margaret Lester at the Pemberton Museum in 1989. According to Diane Billy, the five of them lived together in an old house for the duration of the course and learned basket making Monday - Friday from nine to four between the months of May and October. Several of the baskets in the Fouberg donation came from this class. The Foubergs were involved with programming at the Pemberton Museum.
