California native basketweaver Linda Yamane collaborating with Santa Lucia Conservancy to create two Ohlone twined work baskets?a pechump tiprin that sits on a stone mortar for acorn preparation, and xaapsh, a utilitarian twined container. Each basket connects to Yamane?s Rumsien Ohlone heritage and homeland in Carmel Valley, where Santa Lucia Concervancy is working to manage and protect the plant materials needed for native basketry.
