TODAY I WENT TO THE NEW SRJC MUSEUM WHICH WAS FOUNDED BY JESSE PETER. IT WAS A SMALL MUSEUM THAT HAD MANY VARIETIES OF ETHNIC ARTIFACTS, BASKETS, CERAMICS, CLOTHING, AND WOODEN ARTIFACTS.
MANY OF THE BASKETS WERE FROM THE POMO AND THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBES. NMANY WERE MADE FROM WILLOW, SEDGE, MAIDENHAIR, AND REDBUD ROOTS. THEIR WERE MANY SMALL BASKETS AND ONLY ONE FEATHER POMO BASKET.
OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS REPRESENTED WERE ETHIOPIAN TRIBES WHO MADE ELLABORATELY COLORED COILED BASKETS FROM THREADS OR FLOSS. THEY ALSO HAD SOME OF THEIR CLOTHING AND EMBROIDERY.
THE SOUTHWEST INDIANS WERE REPRESENTED AS WELL - SOME VERY DELICATE CERAMIC POTS WHICH WERE FROM VARIOUS PUEBLOS. THEY ALSO HAD SOME OF THEIR BELTS OF WOOL.
IN THEIR CONFERENCE ROOM THEY HAD MANY SOUTHWESTERN BLANKETS OF BEAUTIFUL COLORS OF WOOL.
ALSO REPRESENTED WAS THE MEXICAN CULTURE. THEY HAD A REPLICA OF A CHIEFS HEAD, SOME CERAMICS, AND SOME OF THEIR WEAVINGS.
THEY HAD NICE LIGHTING AND LITTLE DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE CULTURES.
