Chitimacha Baskets
Description
Chitimacha basketry is intimately related back to the environment. It reflects the natural world of the Chitimacha that they experienced every day. The designs are zoomorphic and they have names that are very expressive like mouse tracks and things that the Chitimacha would have seen every day in their world. These designs were named these things in the Chitimacha language and even though the language died out for a while and is being brought back now, those names were retained through the generations and that shows the importance in Chitimacha basketry as a physical and, visible expressions of Chitimacha culture.
