It’s with some irony that this museum sits in the shadow of Sutter’s Fort. The excellent exhibits and handicrafts on display – including the intricately woven and feathered baskets of the Pomo – are traces of cultures nearly stamped out by the fervor Sutter ignited. Knowledgeable docents can provide first-hand commentary on California's native cultures and point you to other resources around the state.
The museum has plans to move to the California Indian Heritage Center in West Sacramento, but as with most government projects, progress is slow-moving.
