Most unusual. Other tribes averaged about 3 different weave. Also they made a ceremonial basket covered with feathers. At least a few of the Indians made this type. At present no one is left who knows how to produce such a basket. In fact all the basket weavers who selected the proper materials-at the proper time-and used the traditional weaves and shapes have long since passed away. 37- Shi-bu weave basket-quail and woodpecker feather decoration 14- " " " very old and fine 17- " " " made of root of sedge 7- " " " 9- " " " very fine-quail and woodpecker feathers 10- " " " woodpecker and wampum 11- " " " " " " quail feathers 15- " " " 30- " " " girl's ceremonial 6- " " " 3- " " " quail and woodpecker feathers 42- " " " quail pattern in redbud 28- " " " canoe shape-woodpecker feathers 24- " " " minature canoe in black 23- " " " " " " 20- " " " canoe shape with woodpecker feathers 22- " " " " " " " " wampum 21- " " " " 30- " " " girl's ceremonial with quail feathers 29- " " " " " " " wampum-feathers 40- " " " ceremonial-few beads 39- " " " 41- " " " old-rare
