Julia Parker basket collection donated by noted San Francisco philanthropist


May 5, 2016 - Yosemite National Park, through Yosemite Conservancy, recently received a donation of 26 examples of Julia Parker’s basketry. These pieces were collected through the years by Elvira “Ellie” Nishkian, from San Francisco, who was active in many charitable causes and was instrumental in the formation of the Yosemite Fund, which is now known as Yosemite Conservancy. Nishkian’s family felt that this wonderful collection of basketsjulia parker baskets yosemite national park 1 credit npsbelonged in the Yosemite Museum.

This donated collection includes both coiled and twined baskets, some decorated with tiny seed beads, shell beads and feathers, soaproot brushes, and other items. Many of these pieces are illustrated in the recent publication on Julia Parker authored by Deborah Valoma, 

Scrape the Willow until it Sings, published by Heyday Books with support from Yosemite Conservancy. The Yosemite Museum houses one of the largest and most diverse collections of artifacts in the National Park system and cares for a large collection of American Indian material. The Museum opened in 1926 and celebrates its 90th Anniversary this year. Some of the donated collection will be displayed during the “Why Yosemite Collects” exhibit at the Yosemite Museum from May 31 to November 1, 2016.

“Julia has dedicated her life to not only making beautiful works of art, but also to ensuring the important knowledge and skills passed down from her elders continue to flourish,” said Yosemite Conservancy President Frank Dean. “The Nishkian’s generous contribution ensures that these important pieces of Yosemite’s history can be enjoyed forever by visitors from around the world.” 

Julia Parker, a Kashia Pomo/Coast Miwok followed her future husband, Ralph Parker to Yosemite where they were married in 1948. In 1960, she julia parker yosemite mariposa 1 482 credit sierra sun timesbegan work as a demonstrator after Park Naturalist Doug Hubbard approached her about demonstrating weaving. Her career with the National Park Service spanned over half a century until she retired as a Master Interpreter and Indian Cultural Demonstrator in July of 2015. Julia Parker is a world renowned basket maker and during her time at Yosemite she shared the unique story of the Miwok people to countless visitors. Her work can be seen at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., Queen’s Museum at Windsor Castle, U.K., and at the Yosemite Museum. Julia Parker is a National Endowment of the Arts Fellow and has received an honorary doctorate from the California College of the Arts.
