| | Remember Your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets, Family, and Friends -- Exhibitions -- Oakland Museum of California |
 | | 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. |
 | | By contrast, the Allen collection reflects the painstaking efforts by Elsie Allen, researchers and students to record individual weavers' identities, times of completion, and other important documentary data, and assemble oral histories of the weavers and their families. |
 | | Remember Your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets, Family and Friends was made possible with support from the Oakland Museum Women's Board, California Council for the Humanities, City of Ukiah, Friends of Remember Your Relations, Oakland Museum History Guild, LEF Foundation, and Sun House Guild. |
