| Description: | For more than two centuries, Plateau Indian women have created unique bags to carry at tribal celebrations, give as gifts, use as trade and occasionally sell to outsiders. This fully beaded bag featuring "Miss Spokane" was made in the early 20th century. Though likely a woman from one of the northern Plateau tribes, the identity of It's maker is lost. |
