I am Sara Barton of the Yosemite Miwuk and Mono Lake Paiute First Nations, currently residing in the high desert sagebrush country of far eastern Oregon. I am a weaver and traditional artist, and I have been teaching cultural and traditional ways for over forty years. For the past twenty years, I have been deeply engaged in the art of basket making and related skills. I am fascinated with basketry of all types and equally passionate about teaching the skills and traditions from which they come.
