Regalia and associated building techniques of Northern California roundhouse tribes
Return to the California Traditional Artists Plaza.
About the Artist
I am a featherman (regalia maker). I specialize in dance regalia of the Wintu, Maidu, and associated tribes. I have been active in dance and ceremony for 30 years and have been an active maker for 20 years. I come from the Nomtipom wintu of Northern California. I am of mixed ancestry including Irish, Filipino, and Germanic, in addition to my tribal background. It is my honor and privilege to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps of education and culture bearing.
