group had been considerably influenced by the work of other groups 
in a more or less direct way, the Stlaxai’ux by the Lillooet, while 
the upper bands of the Lillooet gained ideas from the Stlaxai’ux 
and the Thompson. The Lower Thompson and Lower Lillooet had 
a number of similar patterns which were not used by the ancient 
Lytton people farther up the river. 
Long ago all the Lillooet used beading very extensively, much 
more, in fact, than the Thompson, and in greater varieties of patterns. 
They also were more fond of ‘“fly’”’ patterns, and up to the present 
time still produce larger numbers of these than do the Thompson. 
(This statement is borne out by the facts, as an examination of the 
baskets shows.) The false embroidery made by the Lillooet was 
never made by the Thompson. When asked about the Shuswap 
work, of which so little knowledge is extant, as well as regarding the 
Chilcotin, she could give no information, although apparently well 
versed in the history of the work in her immediate region. 
No. 16. Louise, aged 40, also belonged to the Stlaxai’ux division, 
but her parents were connected with the Styne Creek and Upper 
Lillooet. The history of her basket making is practically the same 
as Mary’s. She had made a number of sizes and shapes, but most 
of her pieces had been oblong or circular. She made medium-sized 
burden baskets. Although she was not as engrossed in the occupa- 
tion as formerly, she still continued to practice it occasionally. Her 
designs were those given in Sketches 24, 60, 68, 75, 433, 440, and 
462, arranged perpendicularly.

She also made a design called “leg” or ‘‘hooked,” which is given 
in Figure 122, 26. 
No. 17. Ex’tko (Scratched or Incised Water) was an old woman 
about 75, who was born and brought up among the Lytton Band. 
Her parents also came from the locality of Lytton and Spences 
Bridge. Like most of the other informants, basketry had been a 
lifelong occupation with her and she had made nearly all the shapes. 
At the time she was interviewed she was still making several every 
year. 
Her designs she identified with the sketches whose numbers are 
given below, but the basket photographs were not shown to her.
