Three Women, Three Artists, Three Paths toward One Goal: To Keep Their Culture Alive

March 31, 2015.

Claudia Lima,of the National Museum of the American Indian's Blog , has written a brief introductory post about native basket weavers Delores Elizabeth Churchill (Haida), Pat Courtney Gold (Warm Springs Wasco), and Ronni-Leigh Goeman (Onodaga) and how their art reflects their culture and history.

"The more everyone talked, the more I realized how much I have to learn about Native culture. 

From Alaska to New York, weaving is not just a talent, but it is also a way 

of passing culture and history to generations to come. "
