Whereas Grace Carpenter Hudson devoted her life to recording the beauty, spirit,
and culture of the local Pomo Indian people through her paintings and writing;
Whereas Grace Carpenter Hudson's work became renowned, even in her lifetime,
for its technical excellence as well as its record of a native people of the American West;
Whereas ethnographer Dr. John Wilz Napier Hudson studied Pomo Indian
language and culture and collected artifacts and baskets that today form the foundation of
internationally renowned collections including those at The Smithsonian Institution, the
Field Museum in Chicago, and the Grace Hudson Museum;

today provides invaluable help to those trying to learn and reconstruct these languages;

American Arts & Crafts Movement as a model of that style using local woods and
