The Maidu (also known as the Mountain Maidu or Nisenan) are an indigenous people native to the northern Sierra Nevada region of California, particularly in areas like Butte, Lassen, and Plumas counties. They are renowned for their exceptional basketry traditions, which date back centuries and were essential for daily life, ceremonies, and storage. Maidu baskets, including the bowl-shaped variety, are considered among the finest examples of Native American weaving in California, often featuring intricate geometric patterns, tight coiling techniques, and materials sourced from the local environment.
