BACKGROUND

Pinnacles National Park (PINN) has a requirement for museum quality cases and accessories needed to display both baskets and ceremonial regalia in the park's West Side Visitor Contact Station, providing a benefit to the public and fulfilling the park's obligation to the Chalon Indian Nation. PINN received two traditional, hand-woven ceremonial baskets several years ago from the Chalon Indian Nation, an American Indian tribe that is traditionally associated with the park.

The baskets were donated with the understanding that they be publicly exhibited, but they have remained in museum storage because the park lacks museum-quality display cases. The Chalon Indian Nation has also donated two ceremonial regalia (clothing) which tribal craftsmen are presently constructing. These donations will need to be publicly displayed as well.

MUSEUM-QUALITY DISPLAY CASES

Museum grade-display cases of sufficient quality to meet the minimum standards for display of museum objects, as specified in DO-24 (Museum Handbook, Pt. III, Chp.7, pp.36-38.
