If this link stops working, go to the NMAI website, search their archives for "Tutelo". Search other tribes for more artifacts. Searching for "Powhatan" brings up 4 pages of stuff.

Thanks for that link, Spilleddi. I wonder how much the style was influenced by Six Nation basketry in general, or if it accurately demonstrates original Tutelo styles.

I've also wondered how much of an influence both 6 nations and white culture had on these baskets. I've seen Cherokee baskets that look similar. I'm going to the DC area in late September, so I made an appointment to get a better look at the baskets.

Cool pieces of Tutelo artifacts. I was brought up on hominy. I didnt realize how mush of it was ate. When I went to the pow wow last weekedn, I got a soup with pork, chilli beans and hominy. It was really good.
