Pruristac Village Preparatory Drawings, 2019. Black and white copy of drawings done in preparation for a painting by Amy Hosa, in collaboration with Ohlone artist Linda Yamane representing Ohlone life in the mid-1700s. The image depicts the Aramai Ramaytush Ohlone tribe at the Village of Pruristac, which is the site of the current Sanchez Adobe in Pacifica, CA. The drawing shows the ocean in the background with flocks of shorebirds in the sky. Villagers in the foreground on the right create animal traps. In the center foreground, a boy plays with duck decoys. In the center beneath a tree, women leach acorns. On the left, a man hands a duck decoy with feather covering to a boy who stands in the creek; he and the man behind him have packs of either caught ducks or decoys on their backs, and another boy runs into the creek holding four feathers in the air. Further up the creek another person plays with duck decoys. In the background from left to right: men smoke steelhead fish; women weave baskets beneath a ramada and sit on a mat; a woman grinds acorns in front of a house; two other women, one wearing a cradle basket, work on unrolling a mat and stand behind reeds of willow. There are numerous plants and wildlife native to this area depicted throughout. Flowering plants indicate that the scene takes place in spring. |
