Plains Indian basketry, generally classified into two types, coiled gambling baskets of wide distribution and twilled baskets used by Arikara, Hidatsa, and Mandan women, has received little attention from anthropologists or other scholars. A number of questions concerning Plains Indian basketry remain to be answered. One of these concerns the origin of the twilled baskets used by Northern Plains peoples. In response to this situation, historical references, published descriptions, fieldnotes, and museum specimens have been brought together in a study of Arikara, Hidatsa, and Mandan twilled baskets. Four hypotheses concerning possible origins are proposed and tested. The assumption that the basketmaking techniques of these tribes originated in the southeast is examined and rejected. Hypotheses concerning Caddoan or European origins for the basketry are rejected. Evidence for a local origin is presented
