content: Per Jason Baird Jackson, Mrs. Rosa (Rose) Jackson Pierite identifies her tribal background as Choctaw-Tunica on the tag accompanying the basket. Elsewhere (as in the Louisiana Folklife Center artist profile of Mrs. Pierite's daughter Rose White, also a basketweaver), her tribal heritage has been noted as Choctaw-Biloxi. Mrs. Pierite's husband Joseph Alcide Pierite Sr. was Tunica-Biloxi.
