This research would investigate the correspondence between change in the Central Yup'ik culture of southwestern Alaska and woven basket design, composition, and style. Over the last century, this culture has been dramatically impacted by association with western culture. The extent to which cultural impact alters basic life patterns will be investigated in this research. One of the prominent cultural activities of this group has been the production of woven baskets, and several museums have collections covering the last 100 years. The project will examine, categorize, and statistically analyze the design, construction and style of woven baskets collected over this time period. The investigator will conduct in-depth interviews with basket makers to develop data on the linkage between basket making and cultural change. As few written records document cultural change in this ethnic group, this work may lead to insight into cultural adaptation in response to changing and prominent western influences.

这项研究将调查阿拉斯加西南部的中央Yupik文化的变化和编织篮子的设计，组成和风格之间的对应关系。 在上个世纪，这种文化受到了与西方文化联系的巨大影响。 本研究将调查文化影响改变基本生活模式的程度。 这个群体的一个突出的文化活动是编织篮子的生产，几个博物馆收藏了过去100年的藏品。 该项目将检查，分类，并统计分析在这段时间内收集的编织篮子的设计，施工和风格。 调查人员将对篮子制作者进行深入访谈，以收集关于篮子制作与文化变革之间联系的数据。 由于很少有书面记录记录，在这个民族的文化变化，这项工作可能会导致洞察文化适应，以应对不断变化和突出的西方影响。
