Weaving a thread through the SEVEN GENERATIONS:
The Ohlone Basket Weaver Who Revived a Rumsen Artistic Tradition
For most of her early life, Linda Yamane thought Ohlone fine coil basketry had disappeared from the world. But when she was a Master’s student at San Jose State University, she saw a poster displaying Ohlone baskets and lists of which institutions held them. Four decades later, Yamane says, she is one of the only people practicing Ohlone coil basketry aside from her one apprentice.
Yamane, who lives in Seaside, California, is a member of the Rumsen Ohlone Tribal Community, indigenous to the Monterey Bay, Carmel River Valley, and Point Lobos area in Northern California. Ohlone refers to a linguistic association of Northern California Indigenous peoples who share languages belonging to the Penutian family. Rumsen is one of eight linguistic communities under the Ohlone umbrella.

beading practices that she learned from family members and shared with
her local Haida Gwaii community, died at age 41, as confirmed by her
family in an announcement posted yesterday to Facebook. The cause of death has not been made public.
