Patix Mix has lived in Northern California for over 25 years. She learned her weaving technique from her Cherokee Grandmother, and has been devoted to passing this Native American spiritual handicraft tradition on to others in many counties of N. California especially Lake County, as well as teaching at the University of Davis in Davis, California and Chico State University in Chico, California. The weaver once taught is to pass the technique on from generation to generation.

Pattix Mix specializes in "Spirit Baskets and Necklaces". She weaves in horse hair, sweetgrass and pine needles. The Portal Market was approved by the elders of the Pomo Tribe in Lake County in 1994, and the spirit that is woven into Buffalo Woman's "Spirit Baskets and Necklaces" is a way to honor the elders of the Pomo Tribe in lake County, CA. These creations are indeed very special and the Portal Market is honored to carry on this weaving tradtion of the Native American spiritual arts by offering them to others so that they may be enjoyed by future generations.

A remembrance basket or necklace can be made of the hair of your favorite horse.

They will be decorated with feathers, beads, or shells. Each basket or necklace has a life of its own and it is helpful if you tell Buffalo Woman something about your animal.

If you do not have your own horse hair Buffalo Woman can provide the hair and all colors are available.
