A visitor views a display of a buckskin dress in the style of one work by Mabel McKay on Oct. 6 at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. The display, "The Life and Work of Mabel McKay," celebrates a Pomo Indian basket weaver, healer, civil rights activist and person believed to be the last speaker of her tribal language when she died in 1993. Her intricately woven, often colorful baskets, ranging from the size of a pinhead to some large enough to serve as laundry containers, are accompanied by a recreation of her workroom, narration by her son and other works will be part of the opening on Oct. 9.
