Dr. Vanessa Esquivido will present her talk, The Intergenerational Knowledge of Northwest California Native Basketry
Looking through a Native perspective, basketry goes far beyond aesthetics and functionality. Native baskets are sacred filled with deep knowledges, stories, and futurisms of Native Americans. This presentation will share some of those stories and highlight how important Native basketry continues to be within our Tribal communities.
