“The Basket Weavers” Airs on PBS in San Francisco Bay Area
The Basket Weavers, produced by Joshua Dylan Mellars for PBS station Northern California Public Media, airs Monday, December 30 at 7:30 PM.
The Pomo basket weaving tradition in Northern California has been passed down for generations. But development projects and the encroachment of invasive non-native plant species continue to threaten the survival of native plants used to make the baskets. Clint McKay and his family are working to preserve these riparian habitats for future generations as they carry on this basket weaving tradition.
