The Apalachee, like many other indigenous people, wove baskets for utilitarian and ceremonial purposes. A variety of basket forms were used in the gathering, processing, and cooking of food resources. Rivercane was primarily used in the construction of baskets, however, an assortment of other woods and materials such as sumac, willow, swamp grass, pine needles, cedar bark, and spruce root were also used. The Apalachee to this day practice the tribal art of basket weaving.
