We know little about Hleastunuh besides her name. Her striking image, captured here by Curtis, contrasts the textures of her own hair and weathered skin with a woven mat she wears as a garment.

The Skokomish, or Twana are known as "the people of the river", and their traditional land was the Hood Canal drainage basin in western Washington state. The Skokomish are known for the quality of their baskets, and today many tribal members work in the logging and fishing industries.
