This grass basket was donated to the collection by Dr. Sven Haakanson Jr. after he received it from Marra Andrewvitch. Marra Andrewvitch was a traditional grass basket weaver from Old Harbor who learned to weave from her grandmother. According to Dr. Haakanson this was the last piece Marra completed due to worsening arthritis.
