Indian Handicrafts Are Big Business in Quinault
Quinault Indians push craft work into commerce led by Gilbert Jake and Charley Charley in Taholah Washington. Ten workers including Betty Cappeman craft wood carvings, masks, canoes, paddles, and wall plaques for wholesalers and venues from Death Valley to Seattle. A large totem pole can run about $100 per foot with a 90 day lead time.
