With support from the California Art Council, CALIFORNIA INDIAN BASKETWEAVERS ASSOCIATION will work graphic designer consultant, Mark Hayes to create CIBA branded marketing/press kit highlighting CIBA’s core programming. This kit will include information on the background of CIBA, its history, services/programs and future direction and will enable CIBA to build upon a recently developed CIBA Brand Guide while providing quality informational outreach materials to potential partners and funders.
Core organizational programs and services of the California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA) include our Annual Basketweavers’ Gathering, KNOT Regional Basket weaving Workshops and Cultural Fire Programs. In addition CIBA advocates for the protection of traditional cultural resources on public and tribal lands and traditional gathering sites, and encouraging the reintroduction of such resources and designation of gathering areas on such lands. CIBA is also active in monitoring and discouraging pesticide use in traditional and potential gathering areas for the safety of weavers, gatherers and others in tribal communities.
