Pretty much, basket weaving was a lot more important than most people think. Seriously. Every body in the family knew how to even if there was a profesional in town.
In colonial times, basket makers were typically part of the lower economic class, often considered artisans or craftsmen. They played a vital role in everyday life by producing essential items for storage and transportation. While some basket makers could achieve a certain level of respect within their communities, they generally did not attain the status or wealth of higher social classes, such as landowners or merchants. Their work was often labor-intensive and required skilled craftsmanship, passed down through generations.
