Basketry From card: "Burden basket bought by Mr. L.K. Hopkins in the Spring of 1882 at Fort Wingate from the ... [wife] of the celebrated Apache chief Victorio. A number of old men, women and children were brought into the fort at the time the Apaches were on the warpath [sic]. The basket was used by Victorio. Loaned to the Heard Museum 9/8/77. Returned 9/23/77." Leland Michael Darrow, Tribal Historian for the Fort Sill Apache Tribe, questions the Chiricahua attribution, saying though basket may have been collected from/used by the Chiricahua, it is more Mescalero or Western Apache style of manufacture?, 9-28-2007. 23 Feb 2024 1 Subjects: Anthropology; Ethnology; Miss Ella F.
