Basket Maker Bios

Mary

life dates unknown

Unfortunately, little is known about basket maker Mary. According to information supplied by donor Jean M. Davidson, the maker of basket 960.5.1 was “Mary” [or “Mari”?]. This basket was acquired in 1920 by Mrs. H. Davidson from the North Vancouver Indian Reservation. This means that Mary was, therefore, likely a member of the Squamish Nation. See Skxuumish Uxwumixw - Network - http://www.squamish.net/ .

The Langley Centennial Museum would appreciate any leads on the identity of Mary of the North Vancouver Indian Reserve in the 1920s.
