On Saturday, April 15, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., the Grace Hudson Museum presents "Pomo Perspectives on Seaweed," a panel discussion and presentation. Hillary Renick (Noyo), Eric Wilder (Kashaya Pomo), and Meyo Marrufo (Robinson Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians) will each share their thoughts about aspects of seaweed important to North Coast Native cultures.
The event is free with museum admission: $5 general; $12 per family; $4 for students and seniors; and free to members, Native Americans and standing military personnel.
The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on this day, in order for visitors to explore the current exhibit, "The Curious World of Seaweed." Featuring the luminous work of seaweed artist Josie Iselin, the exhibit explores the surprising science and history behind seaweed, along with the longstanding connections indigenous peoples have to this plant, and the human impact that threatens its existence.
The Grace Hudson Museum is at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah. For more information, go to www.gracehudsonmuseum.org or call (707) 467-2836.
