- Comment:
- From exhibit text, June 1993: "Basketry has been a vital element in Native California cultures for thousands of years. In recent times, images of baskets, basket-makers, and basketry designs have been used as public markers of Native California identity. These images appear on posters, fliers, pamphlets, business cards, stationery and T-shirts. Both Native groups and non-Indian organizations, such as museums and interpretive associations, use basketry images in this fashion.
