No. 21. Mrs. Billy belonged to the Nicola division and had always 
lived near Potato Gardens or Petit Creek. Her parents and grand- 
parents were from the same locality or from Lytton, although some 
one in the family came from the Okanagon country. When Mrs. 
Billy was a young woman she had learned to coil baskets. Most of 
the shapes she had made were burden or circular baskets, but from 
time to time she had produced others. She was still making two or 
three a year at the age of 50. For the designs she used see Sketches 
10, 13, 62, 66, 114, 144, 201, 213, 217, nearly like 220, 225, 227, 245,

393, 423, 427, 441, 446, 454, 455, 473, 497, 610, 766, nearly like 773,

No. 22. Sti’xtko (Spread-Out-W ater) was a Coldwater woman whose 
relatives were from Boston Bar and neighboring bands. From the 
time she was very young until 47 Sti’xtko had made a number of 
baskets and was still producing two or more every year. She had 
tried various shapes and many sizes but chiefly made burden baskets. 
She had lived among the Upper Uta’mqt and Nicola. 
Her designs she identified from Sketches 9, 11, 12, 13, 22 elongated, 
63, 176, 188, 198, 212, 225, 226, 231, 247, 267, 268, 272, 281, 303, 
307, 402, 406, 417, 446, 456, 472, 493, 494, 519, 584, 604, 615, a design 
nearly like 754, 839. 
Considerable information was obtained from Sti’xtko, however, 
about the interpretations of designs which she saw in the photo- 
graphs. ‘Arrowhead”’ designs, according to her, may be seen on 
the baskets in the frontispiece and Plate 12, 6, on the end of the 
basket on Plates 33, b; 37, a, 6, d, e; 39, a. An old “blanket” design 
is that in Plate 16, a; another may be seen in Figure 82. 
The ‘‘ Cross” appears in Plate 25, a; the real “‘grave box’’ or 
laika design she declared was that on the side of the basket in Plate 
5, a; variations in 22,d, and 32, c. She did not know the interpre- 
tation of the pattern in Plate 56, 6, but thought it might be a vari- 
ation of the grave box. ‘‘Mouth” patterns are shown in Plates 11, 
bs. 29 57, a; F- 
The design in Plate 25, c, she said was occasionally called a “star,” 
“eross,”’ “spotted cross” or ‘“‘spotted star,’’ “cluster,” “fly,” or 
“bead.” The pattern is generally called a mula or “Indian rice 
root” representation. A part of a “net” design was discovered in 
Plate 31, a, while Figure 84 showed it entire.
