California State Park’s Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park (SHP) will showcase two Indigenous artists in March. Visitors will have an opportunity to meet and engage with the artists and purchase their artwork.
The museum will highlight internationally recognized gourd artist Nadiya Littlewarrior (Potawatomi/Cherokee) on Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15. Nadiya founded Spirit Vessels Studio in 1993. Regarding her gourds, Nadiya said, “They are Spirit Vessels to me because The Creator makes the Gourd People and puts their spirit in them, and I get to dress them with regalia.”
