Tending the Wild:The Workshop
California Native American Master Basket Weaver will lead a full day, interactive program that will provide a hands-on experience for those interested in learning more about the cultivation, preparation of plant materials and related cultural values embedded in the ancestral skill of basketweaving.
This educational workshop, presented by the California Indian Basket Weavers' Association (CIBA) is designed to give participants a clearer understanding of the historic impact of Indigenous Stewardship Methods (ISM) on California's natural environment in addition to stories and examples of how these techniques are being reintroduced in several tribal communities.
Topics include the historic use of fire and periodic burning of undergrowth to optimize plant regeneration in traditional gathering sites and identification and preparation of regional basketry plant materials, such as how to peel willow; split and trim redbud shoots; dig white root; and clean and prepare bracken fern.
Admission prices which include lunch are as follows:
General Public $60.00
CIBA Members $50.00
Students (with current student I.D.) and Youth Age under 18: $40.00
