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.
