Elsie Allen Weaving
Annie Burke (1876-1962), a weaver who spent much of her
adult life educating others on the ways of the Pomo, asked her daughter,
Elsie, not to destroy her baskets upon her death. Elsie Comanche Allen
(1899-1990) had a native artisan eye for esthetics, and she added to her
mother's collection during the next 30 years, devoting herself to education
as her mother had. She, in turn, appointed her oldest daughter, Genevieve
Allen Aguilar (b. 1920), as the next guardian of the collection, who placed
it on long-term loan to the Mendocino County Museum.
