[Bayley Marquez] I'm Bayley Marquez, I am Santa Ynez Band Chumash from Santa Ynez, California, and I live in Hyattsville, Maryland, and work for the University of Maryland. So I walk into a recreation of the Cone Sisters living room, and in this cabinet I'm just immediately drawn to a collection of mortars and pestles, and I just wonder what they're doing there, because mortars and pestles are something that I've used, that I've made, from my own childhood. On our reservation, there's a riverbed that runs through it. And often in the summertime it runs dry. And we would go down into the riverbed and we would pick out river rocks, and then you would get another, harder, smaller rock. You use a second rock that is of harder consistency, and you would use that to actually grind out a bowl in the center of the river rock to make your own mortar and pestle. And then, you have an affinity between the two in a sense, because the pestle has essentially created the mortar itself that's being ground down. It actually takes a really long time, and part of that is promoting the patience to sit there and do it and to really put the work into having the object. And traditionally we use that to grind herbs, grind pigments for things like rock painting or for adornments, to grind acorns or to grind other foodstuffs. So to me, this is like something that's just a piece of my childhood, a piece of something I use, something I've made. So then to see this really adorned form made out of metal in this room from these art collectors was just so striking to me: wondering, why did they have them? What were they using them for? What were the people who made them using them for? I imagined sort of thinking about the ornateness as having both a decorative but also a really practical purpose. I was just struck [chuckles].
