| Title | Indian women hop pickers, Snoqualmie Hop Ranch, ca. 1895 |
| Photographer | Soule, John P. |
| Studio Location | United States--Washington (State)--Seattle |
| Date | ca. 1895 |
| Notes | Native people from many tribes traveled to work in western Washington hop fields each fall. Some came by canoe from as far away as Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This seasonal work gave them a chance to earn the money they needed to buy things in a cash economy. In this 1890s photo, taken at Snoqualmie Hop Ranch in western Washington state, two Indian women stand in a hop field holding traditional cedar bark baskets. Other baskets filled with the pale hop blossoms sit on the ground in the background (right). Hops are used to flavor beer.
