Wa’paas basket weaving workshop with Chestina Dominguez

This learning event is led by Chestina Dominguez, an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes and Bands of Yakama Nation and descendant of the Warm Springs tribe. Chestina uses contemporary materials to create baskets using the ancient techniques of her ancestors.

Sally bags, known as wapaas and aqw’alkt respectively among the Wasco and Wishxam peoples, are woven with a unique full-turn twining method.
