Synopsis:
This richly detailed documentary illustrates the complex processes utilized by Pomo Indian weavers of northern California to cultivate, manage, harvest, and prepare the indigenous plant materials used in their world-famous baskets. The wealth of time, specialized knowledge, and skills involved in transforming living plants into beautiful woven vessels are under-appreciated, though essential, components of the basket weaver's art.
The video also demonstrates, in concrete ways, the often-overlooked sophistication of California Indian land use and management and shows how mainstream America's differing worldviews on land use are endangering the traditional plant materials of the Pomo.
