12. Eastern California Museum
The basket making of the Native Americans fascinated me. I
thought that they were extremely talented and creative for
being able to make such amazing products. They made
these baskets out of natural items which is great. This is
true talent and art. It shows how great these people were
with using their hands. These baskets are a brilliant work of
art.
