About the Item

This vintage Native Chippewa berry basket is a beautiful example of traditional craftsmanship, made entirely from birch bark. The rough, textured white bark forms the sturdy sides of the basket, showcasing natural patterns and resilience. In contrast, the rim and bottom are crafted from the smooth inner bark, providing a refined finish and structural integrity. An old paper label still attached describes it as a "Chippewa Berry Basket," adding a touch of historical authenticity. Found in Wisconsin. The Chippewa, also known as the Ojibwe, are a Native American people with a rich cultural heritage in the Great Lakes region. Birch bark is a vital material in their folk crafts, valued for its versatility, durability, and availability. The Chippewa skillfully transform birch bark into functional and decorative items, from baskets to canoes, reflecting their deep connection to the natural world and their resourceful ingenuity. This berry bucket is a testament to their enduring artisanal traditions.
