In basketwork, a branch is typically a flexible, thin piece of wood harvested from trees or shrubs, used as a primary material for weaving and constructing baskets. These branches can be stripped of their bark and soaked to enhance pliability, allowing artisans to create intricate designs. Commonly used branches include willow, rattan, and bamboo, which provide durability and aesthetic appeal. The natural variations in color and texture of the branches also contribute to the unique character of each woven piece.

Among the Makahs and their neighbours the Nootka, North Coast Salish and Central Coast Salish, men wore very little in summer. In winter they used a robe made from shredded cedar bark; women wore an apron and skirt of the same material. Woven capes lined with fur were worn by both sexes. Rain was almost always present, so ponchos of cedar matting were used as raincoats and wide-brimmed hats were made of basketwork. Moccasins were not used because they quickly rotted in wet conditions. As soon as trade blankets became available the Makah began to use them, as well as ready-made shirts, dresses and other trade items. The link below shows a Makah man in traditional native clothes about to go whaling:
