YUMAN CALIFORNIA INDIANS BASKET WEAVER

California historical pictures, circa 1910, elderly Indigenous California Indian woman weaving juncus tribal baskets.

The Yuman Indigenous tribes are part of the HOKAN LANGUAGE GROUP.

The historical photographer and collection of the 1910 Yuman weaver are yet to be identified for captioning purposes -- the Yuman weaver print was donated to kumeyaay.info by Jane Dumas, Shumup Ko Hup:

SHUMUP KO HUP (Dream Come True)

In about 2000, Jane and her daughter, Daleane, cofounded the Shumup Ko Hup gift shop in the San Diego Old Town State Park with Eva Salazar (Kumiai). Their Indian store sold only authentic traditional ethnographic art handcrafted by California Indians. In the store's heyday, Jane promoted and represented a thriving Southern California Indian co-opt of more than 60 Native California Indian artisans. Unfortunately for the community, Jane and Dee closed their popular gift shop and HOWKA.COM website in 2007 as a result of hard times during the Great Recession.

This beautiful scenic photograph of a white Indian horse grazing in a shallow river brook stream among healthy California wild juncus plants growing naturally along the riverbanks was taken in San Jose de La Zorra in May of 2005. Juncus Acutus, aka spiny rush, sharp rush or sharp-pointed rush is a common SOCAL indigenous plant the Southern California Kumeyaay Indians have used for thousands of years.
