- Description
- This may be the only piece in the collection by a named maker. The tiny, faded tag may read “Minky, 12 y(ears old), Paiute squaw.” While we would today consider squaw to be a derogatory term for an Indigenous woman, it was used to market this basket when it was sold in Carson City, Nevada in 1916.
