To preserve, promote and perpetuate California Indian basketry traditions

Our office frequently receives calls from interested parties who are looking for California Indian basketweavers to weave baskets, help them identify a basket, teach and/or demonstrate their basketry, and present on area specific tribal cultural history.
CIBA has created a “Resource Directory” of CIBA members who are open to being contacted in relation to these type of inquiries. CIBA is continuously updating the Resource Directory and we invite members who would like to be added to the directory. If you are interested in becoming a part of the directory, please click on the following link: californiaindianbasketweavers resourcedirectory

The California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA) is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and perpetuating the traditional art of California Indian basketry. We support weavers by advocating for land access, cultural sustainability, and inter generational knowledge-sharing. Through gatherings, workshops, and education, we empower California Indian weavers and ensure that basketry traditions continue to thrive.
