kay_mulanRemember Your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets, Family & Friends
Suzanne Abel-Vidor, Dot Brovarney, and Susan Billy
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This is a gem of a book if you're interested in California history, and Native American Studies.
Brings to life the feeling of reverence for nature, the joy of communion of family.
The basket weavers pass on their baskets to all who would like to learn; Pomo culture previously had only taboo'd retention of baskets which were destroyed when their owners died. These weavers featured often also made baskets for family members upon burial.
If you are interested in anthropology this book is a real treat.
