    Found in Northern Washington State. Coast Salish. Modern
    The 3rd basket is very heavy must be dense material cedar root, cedar bark or parts of cedar trees? I know they used different parts of cedar trees for various baskets.

      Only one of the baskets is Native American, but it is not from the Northwest, and not related at all to the Coast Salish. The others are Chinese and African.

      The basket without the lid is Native American, but it's a coiled yucca basket made by the Tohono O'odham, of southern Arizona.

      The first two lidded ones are common imported Chinese twined baskets, made from a type of reed, and the last lidded one is a coiled palm fiber basket made by the Zulu in South Africa.

      A good example of why where a basket is found or purchased can have nothing to do with where it was made.
