The Portland Art Museum (PAM) in Portland, Oregon has an exhibit of Woodlands Indian baskets.

According to PAM:

“Prior to European contact this region was home to a succession of complex agricultural societies that, in some instances, built fortified cities where thousands of people lived. With the upheaval brought about by European contact many of these societies were wiped out by war and disease. Finally, by the nineteenth century, most of the survivors were removed to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi to make room for an expanding United States.”
