Native American art
Hi folks,
This one is aimed mostly at the west coast USians on my flist. My friend Caroline (WHNLJ) and her young son (WAHNLJ) are staying with me at the moment. Caroline is obsessed with Native American art, and wants to buy some of the genuine article for not too much money. Can anyone suggest somewhere that won't require a 6 hour in each direction round trip from Mountain View (this being the best she's managed to find online as-yet, and I *don't* fancy that particular way to kill a weekend!).
She's very much into things like dreamcatchers, small items of decorative sculpture, beadwork, that kind of thing. It isn't really my thing, so if this particular place happens to be near somewhere that I might like to point a camera at, all the better. :-)
Thank you in advance. :-)

Clear Lake is tangentially important in the American environmentalist movement, if you care about things like that -- the study of mosquito eradication project around the lake was a key part of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. Also if you haven't seen the famous giant Redwoods/Sequoia yet, you should be able to find a place on that journey that's not too big of a detour (Armstrong Redwoods State Park for example). And Indian casinos tend to be gaudy sight to see too.
