Pomo

Julia Parker worked as a cultural demonstrator at the Yosemite Museum for 55 years, retiring in 2015. She learned to weave from multiple master weavers including Tina Charlie, Carrie Bethel, and Minnie Mike. As such, Julia’s pieces often exhibit a combination of Pomo, Miwok, and Paiute styles. By the 1970s, Julia was known throughout California for her exceptional skills, and was traveling to other areas to demonstrate and teach workshops in making baskets.
