It is the vision of CIBA to preserve, promote and perpetuate California Indian basketweaving traditions while providing a healthy physical, social, spiritual and economic environment for basketweavers. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is presenting our California tribal communities with an unprecedented situation as the very core our cultural traditions, including basketweaving are taught in a manner that does not align with social distancing requirements. It is due to our commitment to the health and well-being of our members, and especially our cherished elders, that we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Gathering.
