Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park and the Chaw’se Association invite you to a presentation by basketweaver Jennifer Bates on Saturday, March 7, 2015, from 10:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.  Indian Grinding Rock, Amador County’s only state park, is located approximately ten miles from Jackson on Pine Grove – Volcano Road.  The program is free with your paid admission to the park.

 

Jennifer Bates, founding board member of the California Indian Basketweavers Association, presently lives at the Tuolumne Rancheria.  A life-long learner, this former Yosemite resident will share her experiences and knowledge of traditional methods of gathering and processing raw materials, weaving technique, early village life, and preparation of native foods.

 

The program will include a brief introduction about the Volunteer Program at the park.  It is only with the help of volunteers and the support of the Chaw’se Association that we can bring educational programs like this to the park for your enjoyment.
