Our Bay Area is and was home to Indigenous First Peoples before anyone else.  Learn how ancient ways are preserved today -- of using plants for making handmade fishing nets to baskets, baby carriers, brushes, sea-going vessels, and toys.  View our artifacts, harvest your own outdoor plants or use our native plant materials, practice knot tying and weaving skills, and use your own strong hands to make a boat that floats! 
 
A deeply discounted fee is offered if you supply your own plant materials, four-five twigs per person.
