Liz-I was up late, trying to finish an Article on Moving to California/America that will come out on Saturday on my other Blog...www.CaliforniaRealEstateandLife.com This story I would have loved to tell the whole story but I don't want to ruin it for people that will go see it.

PS Hope you got a good nights sleep :)

Fran-The Ramona Pageant is performed every year in the hills over here.  Ramona's Story was made famous by the Author Helen Hunt Jackson in 1928.  This Basket though is one that had remained out of the Public eye, and therefore an important part of Cahuilla History.

Kat-The Basket was in a glass case right when you walked in.  We saw it the first day it had ever been on display, and Channel 6 news came out and did a story. This little Museum is right on the main road in Village Green Heritage Center (the only little park like area in the middle of town).  The Museum is that little house in the rear....you can't miss it there's an ice cream store in front and a big fountain :)  A nice place to sit and relax.

Liz- I have this picture of the Museum on there, but it is categorized under Tourist Attractions.  I haven't duplicated anything, although there are a couple that Articles/Posts that are similar.  I want my other Blog to have more Tourist things, and my new series of questions and answers, but not the canned ones you can find everywhere else.  Hey maybe I will add my Indina Series there also...that is something I know a lot about :)

Sally- OK, I will come read all the wonderful history of Hawaii from you, and you can read the Indian History from me :)

George- I think you're right.....if people thought they could get to Heaven that easy we would have baskets for days....LOL :)  Sally's Hawaiian History has a lot of similarities to Native American......in fact I have some beautiful weavings from overseas that are almost identical to Navajo.  And if you think about it, that little stretch of water seperating Alaska from Russia used to be the pathway between continents..thousands of years ago.  It's so easy to see differences, but the similarities are what ties us together :)

Gita-the history is fascinating.  My Daughter has her University Degree in Native American Studies, and I have been sharing the culture for longer than I can remember.  Just barely thought of blogging it :)

Carole-CA gave them a day, they gave theirselves a week LOL :)  But the kids can legally skip shool which I know many think that's cool.  Hope the info I sent entertains you :)
