The Native American craft that most impres sed 1700s-era Europeans coming into what is today the southeastern U.S.\, was rivercane basketry. It was almost exclusively done by women\, and as t hese partly matriarchal societies faced an unstoppable avalanche of immigr ation\, it played an interesting role in cultural survival and adaptation. See examples of Cherokee and Choctaw baskets of single weave double weave structures\, and learn about other forms including perhaps the finest of all\, the Chitimacha. \;
