Description
An old Chinook woman with staff and clam-basket makes her way slowly over the mud flats of the southern end of Shoalwater bay, in Washington. ChiiSh, Burden-basket (Catherine Hawks), is one of a very few survivors of the populous tribe that formerly occupied that part of the state of Washington lying between the middle of Shoalwater bay and the Columbia.
