Abstract

Description

Twined hats having a cone or ""fez"" shape have been worn by Columbia River Plateau women for generations. Today, such hats are considered prized heirlooms, brought out for important ceremonial occasions. Traditionally, hats were made of dogbane fiber, as the women's cylindrical root-digging bags were; the hats were then decorated with zigzag designs in many variations. When such new media as beadwork and woolen yarns were introduced, they allowed the artists a greater freedom of design.
