Traditional Native American Basket Weaving

The art of basket weaving has been around for thousands of years. Learn about some of the traditions of the Wenatchi, Nez Perce, and Yakama tribes including how the baskets are made, what they've been used for, and hear some of the stories that are depicted through this woven art as part of Salmon "On-Line". Thanks to Julie Edwards for sharing her craft with us!

Salmon “On-Line” is a virtual supplement to the Wenatchee River Salmon Festival, a.k.a. Salmon Fest, that takes place annually to celebrate the return of salmon to our Northwest rivers. Prior to 2020, when the event was canceled due to Covid, the event included two days for students from schools across Washington and a free public community day that adds outdoor recreation, performances, and more. We look forward to it's hopeful return to the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in Leavenworth, Washington in September 2022.
