CHICO In conjunction with the 26th Annual California Indian Conference, the Chico Museum is hosting a special display of Native American Baskets now through Oct. 30.
The baskets, from Northern California tribe weavers, primarily from the different branches of the Maidu, were the collection of Hester Patrick of Patrick Ranch and donated to the museum upon her death.
The exhibit includes 20 baskets including examples made by master weavers Amanda Wilson, Mechoopda of Chico Rancheria; Mary Azbill, Koyonkawi (Concow) of Chico Rancheria; and Ann Barber, Mechoopda of Chico Rancheria.
Among the materials used to create these baskets were Sedge root, willow, red bud, big leaf maple, bracken fern root, maiden hair fern, pine root and bear grass.
