  • Basketry has been described as the pinnacle of Californian indigenous culture. But the craftsmanship necessary to make these works of art requires much more than weaving techniques. It requires a deep and sustained relationship with the environment. For centuries Native peoples tended the land and used a variety of methods to shape plants to suit their basketry needs from pruning, weeding, and coppicing to the the cyclical use of controlled burning. Today, many of these techniques have been lost or suppressed and the ability to access traditional gathering locations has been impeded by urban development and the restrictions of private property. In this video, we explore how traditional gathering is practiced today and how Native peoples are rediscovering their basketry traditions in Southern California.

    Thank you, this made me cry. The world NEEDS this. Crying for the loss of this way of life for so many.

      I really can relate to your words. Deep inside me I find a painful longing for a life in closeness to nature. We as western people have lost so much in our lifestyle.

    Wow! The philosophy is totally Indian,we also don't disturb plants after evening! They are sleeping! Thanks. We also pray them before cutting them and ask their mercy for our sin and promise them to propogate their progeny !

    Such a beautiful & inspiring video! We all need to tend the earth much better than we are doing today. I despair how people only see value in wild land by the timber on it & minerals beneath it. Our earth is worth much much more intact, living & breathing, supporting a myriad of life forms including our own. Spread the word of wild wisdom! Thank you all the way from Tasmania Australia for sharing this wonderful video I so much enjoyed & related to it!

    It's true what you say about dams, fences, boarders, roadways preventing us from living of the land. I always wondered how many would be living in debt if they knew how to live by the work of their hands. How to build sustainably, to weave, to gather, and to grow. When I was young I loved picking wild raspberries and blackberries that grew along the stream behind my grandmothers house. It wasn't very big lot but there were wild birch and popular trees. When my grandmother became sick, my father sold to man who wanted to build a house for his wife. He tore down the small bungalow and built a house twice the size. Then cleared the land all the way to the steam and put in a lawn, with a fire pit from Walmart. I just thought, what a waste. And if continuing to build in these ways, I wonder what will be left.
    Thanks for your video. :)

    Her stories of her link to the environment is enough to solidify her claim. Family is a inherited function and is not negotiable in indigenous cultures not an earned one that is a colonial thought. Racist is a concept defined by a superior group who forces their values on a group they deem inferior. Their spirituality is a parallel world that goes hand in hand with the environment in terms of respect and protection.

    Trespassing is theft. Permissions are new friendships and opportunities to share the abundance. Trespassing is a theft that can't be repaid.

    No it doesn't.
