Prehistoric Ohio Tools & Points
19th Century North American Basketry & Beadwork

The California Mission tribes inhabited the coastal regions of Southern California and were the first to come into contact with the Spanish in this area. In the 18th century they were ultimately forced to convert and to leave their rich hunting grounds to supply field labor to the Spanish. Both the missionaries and the accompanying military created a demand for their baskets.​
