The Maidu Indians lived in the Northern Sacramento Valley, from the
Sacramento River on the west, up the Sierras to the east.
The Maidu used coiled baskets as well as many other techniques.
Ceremonial Gift Baskets, feasting bowls, trays and miniature baskets all make up the
Basketry of these fine weavers.
