Snohomish couple in temporary summer house, Puget Sound, Washington, 1905

Edson, Norman, d. 1968.

1905

Man and woman sit in their beach hut, by fire, under fish smoking rack. She is knitting, with yarn in woven basket. Note from unidentified source: Snohomish Indians on Puget Sound, during the summer in 1905--before and after--erected temporary dwellings on the shore composed of rush mats and pieces of canvas, and hung their salmon catch on beams above a camp fire to be smoked and cured for the winter months.
