Vintage Native American Hand Woven Basket (Yakima). A Shahaptian tribe formerly dwelling on the banks of the Columbia, the Wénatchee, and northern branches of the Yakima (Ya-ki-má, runaway) Rivers, in the east of Washington. They called themselves Waptailmim, ''people-of-the-narrows'', or Pakintlema, ''people of the gap'', from the situation of their village near Union Gap on the Yakima River. They were visited in 1804 by Lewis and Clark, who called them Cutsahnim. This Sweet little basket measures approx. 3.25'' high x 4.25'' in diameter at it's widest point.
