KUMEYAAY INDIAN WOMAN

Janet Salazar Carrillo, San Jose de la Zorra band member, smiles beautifully for her promotional photograph from outside her home -- beautiful mountain landscape in background.

The pretty young indigenous woman is the mother of three children.

Family business: Janet and her children display some of their juncus container baskets and willow grainery baskets for a photograph in December of 2004.

The children are holding miniature acorn storage baskets woven by Janet with fresh willow. The willow repels the insects that bore into the acorns. Janet is holding two coiled juncus gift baskets. The basket on the right has two deer woven with red/brown basal juncus.

Luis Serratto, Jose Garcia and Eva Garcia are the children of Kumeyaay basketweaver, Janet Salazar.
