The Basketry Boom of the early 20th Century with Gene Meieran - Rock Art 21

What this episode covers

Here's one that is a bit different. Did you know that Native California Indians were part of a basketry boom? From about 1890 to 1940 Native people produced some of the most spectacular basketry ever crafted in the world. These masterpiece baskets include imagery and embedded metaphor that is also recognized in our rock art record throughout California and the Great Basin. Gene Meieran one of the authors of an upcoming book by Sunbelt Press will be our guest to discuss how such a volume was created and the treasures produced by California Indians and where these artistic treasures can be seen. The interview will spotlight what it means to Native people to see their ancestors stories, photographs, and art showcased in such a magnificent visual feast! Tune in.
