Momti Market
Sacramento History Museum
In proud partnership with the Sacramento History Museum, the
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians is excited to present Mómti
Market on Saturday, May 3rd, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free and
family-friendly, the market will take place in the Museum in Old
Sacramento and be filled with artisan-made goods crafted by
talented California Native artists offering items for purchase
such as jewelry, baskets, cultural art and graphic art.
Museum admission is free for this event.
The pop-up market will include 20 vendors, plus interactive
demonstrations and educational booths on display for visitors to
browse, shop and experience. Popular for all ages, a sampling of
the hands-on demonstrations available will include basketry,
acorn processing, cordage, along with fun and games. Guests will
also have the opportunity to connect with and learn from
California Native artists and demonstrators on-site for the
special activation.
The Mómti Market is presented in conjunction with the Sacramento
History Museum’s Mómtim Pewinan (River People), an exhibition
guest curated by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’
Exhibits & Collections Department. The community is encouraged to
explore the installation to learn about contemporary Nisenan
culture and how today’s artists and culture bearers maintain the
old ways through the practice of Traditional Ecological
Knowledge.
