The Basket Weavers

The Pomo basket-weaving tradition in Northern California has been passed down for generations. But development projects and the encroachment of invasive non-native plant species continue to threaten the survival of the native plants used to make the baskets. Clint McKay and his family are working to preserve these riparian habitats for future generations as they carry on this ancient basketweaving tradition.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse into this tradition. I was trying so hard to figure out how the sedge and willow were processed into the basket making materials.
