The Northwest Coastal tribes varied in their styles of basketry, though plaiting was practiced throughout the region. The Upper Pacific Northwest, which includes the Nootka and Tlingit, often twined their baskets and decorated with false embroidery. Tribes such as the Salish and Chinook in the Lower Pacific Northwest typically practiced warp twining and coiling (Turnbaugh and Turnbaugh 1986, 150-156).
