| dc.description | This ""purse"" basket with handles is made with stems of the Juncus rush, a plant found in western Oregon. Such baskets were typical of several tribal groups, particularly the Umpqua, and are associated with both the Siletz and Grand Ronde communities. The Grand Ronde and Siletz reservations were created in the 1850s. Dozens of tribes from all along the Oregon coast, the Willamette Valley, southern Oregon, and Northern California were forcibly removed from their traditional homelands and relocated to these reservations. The various tribes had different languages, customs, and art forms. Basketry was one art form that survived the upheaval of removal and relocation, with weavers adapting to new circumstances. | |
