From the Executive DirectorSteve Nicola
As readers of these pages know, 2000 was a year of growth and change for CIBA. New staff came on board and long-time staff left or took new assignments. In our programs, assigning a full-time manager to the Basketweaver Support Program was a long-overdue move, and increasing the Resource Protection Program manager to full-time status was a major step forward. In 2000, we produced our 10th annual Basketweavers Gathering, continuing a tradition that preceded the formation of CIBA as a formal organization. As usual, we commented on several government policy initiatives, projects, regulations and laws, focusing on those with the potential to significantly impact (good or bad) basketweavers or their communities. We worked with others to successfully appeal an herbicide-based reforestation project on the Modoc National Forest, and joined with others in our first-ever lawsuit to prevent a similar project from proceeding on the Tahoe National Forest. We also engaged government agencies, and tribal, environmental and professional organizations in many collaborative projects to benefit Native people.
Also in 2000, we expanded main office support staff levels by 1-1/2 positions, and with the enthusiastic support of our members in the area, we opened and staffed a field office in northwestern California. The office now serves the many basketweavers and Native communities in Humboldt, Del Norte, Siskiyou, and Trinity counties. To help make sure we can recruit and keep qualified staff, the Board of Directors, in November, approved a comprehensive employee benefit package.
Although we expanded our staffing levels, key positions remain unfilled, including that of outreach and education coordinator. Nevertheless, busy CIBA staff with the help of board members and volunteers, managed to find the time to answer dozens of requests for information and assistance from the general public, cultural organizations, landowners and others, and to represent CIBA at numerous public events. Board and staff also found time to make several presentations on panels at conferences and workshops at the local, state, national and international levels, and serve on numerous advisory committees and boards.
Of course, all of this would not have been possible without your financial support. I am pleased to note that contributions from members and other individual donors increased significantly from previous years, reflecting the confidence of our supporters in our work. I am especially delighted that our membership surpassed 1,000 early this year for the first time. Continuing to increase the level of non-grant support is a major priority for CIBA. However, private foundations played a major role in our growth in 2000, and likely will again this year. I would like to acknowledge the Ford Foundation, Humboldt Area Foundation (Vietor Trust), Lannan Foundation, Nathan Cummings Foundation, Public Welfare Foundation, and the Leocha Fund of the Tides Foundation for their generous support in 2000.
What can we expect in 2001? A major goal will be to fill our vacant outreach and education coordinator position. Roots & Shoots serves to keep those on our mailing list informed and involved, but we need to get our message to a broader audience and to make better use of the media to help achieve our program goals. Beyond that, given the changes experienced in 2000, an important goal in 2001 will be to take measure of our progress over the last few years and chart a strategic direction for the next five years. To aid that process, we will survey our members and stakeholders. We will ask them to evaluate our current programs and services, and determine what we can do to meet (or better meet) their needs. We will also focus on increasing the level of funding we receive from sources other than foundations. Among other things, we will be trying hard to further increase our membership, cultivate major donors, tap previously unutilized sources, develop and market new products, and more aggressively market our product line, which may be enhanced by the addition of baskets. But members are the backbone of most non-profits, and CIBA is no exception. Therefore, if you are reading this and are not a member, pleasejoin now! If you are a member, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and ask that you don't forget to renew your membership when the time comes. Here's hoping for an exciting and prosperous year for CIBA and its supporters!
Search Underway for New Executive Director

Interim Executive Director Steve Nicola reported in the Fall Roots &
Shoots (NL #32), he is serving as executive director only until a new
permanent executive director can be found. In January, the search for
a replacement began. Anyone who is interested in applying for this position
should contact the CIBA main office as soon as possible. Our goal is to
have a new executive director on board sometime this spring.

Our goal of displaying baskets at our main office took a very large step forward in February when we were "gifted" with a beautiful display case by CIBA members Daryl and Claire Muzzi of Sparks, Nevada. With a darkly finished wood base and trim, the case fits in nicely with the rustic décor of the office. The quality piece came complete with drawers for storage and with lighting, shelves and mirrors for optimum display affect. With a small staff, things move slowly at the main office, so we can't predict how soon baskets will be displayed. But thanks to the generosity of the Muzzis, it will be sooner than it otherwise might have been. Our sincere thanks!
Hailstone Fund Provides Basketweaver Scholarships
CIBA is pleased to announce the establishment of the Vivien Hailstone Memorial Fund, which will provide small scholarships for California Indian basketry students and teachers to further their weaving skills and studies. Following Vivien’s death last year,
donations
made in her name were placed into a memorial account and turned over to
CIBA. With guidance from some of her close relatives, CIBA will administer
the fund, and attempt to perpetuate it through donations and other means.
Because Vivien was an ardent supporter of CIBA and always encouraged new
weavers to attend our annual gathering, the first scholarships will go to
one or more basketweavers who wish to attend our gathering for the first
time. This year’s gathering is June 22-24, at Indian Grinding Rock
State Historic Park, near Jackson, California. Up to $250 will be awarded
to one or more weavers who apply by the April 30 deadline. Announcement
of awards will be made by May 15. If fundraising efforts are successful,
a second round of awards will be made in the Fall, and will go to basketry
teachers and students for travel to classes and to study basket collections.A mailing of guidelines and the application form will go out to all basketweavers on our mailing list in March. If you’re not on this list, or know of a basketweaver who should receive the mailing, please contact the CIBA main office, or Sara Greensfelder at sarag@ciba.org. If you wish to make a donation to the fund, please send a check made out to CIBA to the CIBA office (PO Box 2397, Nevada City, CA 95959), with a notation on the check “VHMF donation.” All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Chumash Basketry Information Discovered
Kathryn Klar, a member of the Linguistics Department faculty at UC Berkeley, recently reported finding a small cache of previously undescribed linguistic notes of John P. Harrington relating to Chumash basketry. They are among the papers of Ina Cassidy, in the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley.
In 1912-1913, Cassidy and her husband Gerald, a well-known artist, spent some time with Fernando Librado, one of the last speakers of Ventureño Chumash. Cassidy learned how to weave Chumash baskets and collected notes on the basketmaking process, as well as specimens of the plants used.
The Harrington material consists in large part of his annotations to Cassidy's
notes. There are also manuscripts of three unpublished articles by Harrington:
"Primitive Indian Basketry," "The Prototype of the Navaho
Blanket," and "Pueblo Indian Pottery Making," together
with his detailed specifications for the illustrations.
- back -
Also among Cassidy's notes are a number of pages on childbirth, obtained from another Chumash speaker with whom Harrington worked, Candelaria Valenzuela.
Klar made copies of 78 pages of this material, but reports that there may be additional information scattered throughout the collection.
The Bancroft collection in which these materials are to be found is the Cassidy Family Papers (MSS 67/1 p), specifically carton 7, folders on "Indian basketry" (1) and "Indians" (2). The archival details can also be found in the Bancroft on-line catalog and finding aid, at: http://library.berkeley.edu/BANC.

Thank you, Kathy!
Anza Trail Includes New Basketry Interpretive Exhibit Basketweavers, Organizations Meet in ArizonaOhlone
basketweaver Linda Yamane designed an interpretive exhibit, "Native
People — Partners With the Land," as part of the Juan Bautista
de Anza National Historic Trail. It addresses the use of sedge in Ohlone
basketry and the presence of Ohlone people both past and present. The
exhibit was made possible by a National Park Service Challenge Cost Share
Program grant, and administered locally by the Return of the Natives Restoration
Education Project, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
at the former Fort Ord. The sign overlooks a large sedge bed being tended
by Ohlone basketweavers. 
The National Park Service is committed to offering interpretation of the
American Indian cultures through which the Anza expedition passed, from
the perspective of their descendants today. Other basketweavers living
in the areas traversed by the Anza party between Sonora, Mexico and San
Francisco may want tocontact Trail supervisor Meredith Kaplan at 415/427-1438
or email eredith_kaplan@nps.gov.

Weaving
with other basketweavers is one of the best ways to develop one's skills
and knowledge of basketweaving, not to mention a good way to socialize.
For years, basketweavers have met in informal "weaving circles"
for just such a purpose. Inviting a weaver with specialized knowledge
or skills to a weaving group can boost one's progress as a weaver. But,
it is not always easy to find weavers who can afford the time or expense
to travel to a circle to share their expertise. Now, however, California
Indian basketweaving groups in northwestern California may be able to
overcome that obstacle. CIBA's Northwestern Field Office has received
a $3,600 grant from the Native Performance Fund of the Humboldt Area Foundation.
The funds are to offset costs for basketweaving teachers or guest speakers
through consultant and honorarium fees.
If your California Indian basketweaving group in Humboldt, Del Norte,
Trinity, and Siskiyou counties would like to be considered for funding
from this grant, call (530/629-4567) or email (nwfo@ciba.org)
Deborah McConnell, Northwestern California Field Director, to request
an application. CIBA understands that not all weaving circles are the
same. Deborah will work with each group to help meet its particular needs.
The Native Performance Fund is a partnership of the Humboldt Area Foundation,
Seventh Generation Fund, and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to support
efforts to maintain the cultural traditions of California's indigenous
peoples.

ic
awareness of, and support for, the importance and impact of the arts in
California. The Year of the Arts will involve a series of celebrations in
which the entire arts community can participate. Every month in 2001 will
focus on a different arts discipline. Of special interest to CIBA members
are Multicultural Arts Month in July and Folk Arts Month in November, as
well as a Joint Congress of the Arts taking place in Sacramento June 7 and
8. We will be thinking about how we can use these themes and occasions to
bring greater visibility to the traditional art of basketweaving, and welcome
your suggestions.Under Governor Gray Davis, funding for CAC has increased by 60% in fiscal year 2000-2001, from $20 million to $32 million. He has proposed an increase to nearly $60 million for CAC in the coming fiscal year (beginning July 1.) Under the previous administration, California was 47th in per capita arts spending, with 50 cents per Californian. We are now up to 92 cents per person, which is still far below the top ten states in per capita spending on the arts. Barry Hessenius, CAC’s new director of the past year, has led the very effective campaign to increase funding for the agency.
On the federal level, the National Endowment for the Arts (another long-time funder of CIBA) has seen a slight increase in its budget in the past year to $105 million, which is still significantly below the level of funding it received just a few years ago. This figure represents 38 cents per American. By comparison, the Defense budget of $288 billion represents $1,036.72 per person. (Yes, that’s over one thousand dollars per person for defense, 38 cents for arts.)- back - The increases in state and federal funding for the arts have not come without the hard work and advocacy on the part of many, and further increases, or even maintenance of current levels are by no means assured. The past 10 years of CIBA’s annual basketweavers gatherings would not have been possible without funding from these state and federal agencies. With this in mind, we urge our readers to make their views on support of the arts known to their elected representatives.
On another note, CIBA would like to congratulate Barry Bergey on his appointment as Director of Folk and Traditional Arts at the NEA in January. Barry succeeds Dan Sheehy, who left the post last year to become the Director/Curator of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. CIBA is grateful to both Dan and Barry for the help and support they’ve given us from our earliest beginnings. To find such warm and caring people serving the American public is indeed a blessing. Likewise, we are pleased to learn of the promotion of Theresa Harlan to the position of Program Administrator of Traditional Folk Arts and Artist Fellowship Programs at the California Arts Council. In her former job as director of the CN Gorman Museum at UC Davis, Theresa was responsible for putting together an exhibit about California Indian basketweavers in 1996. Josie Talamantez, another long-time friend of CIBA, was recently promoted to the position of Assistant Chief of Grants Programs at CAC, and Lucero Arellano was promoted to Program Administrator of the Multicultural Arts Development program, responsible for some of the funding that goes to folk arts projects. Congratulations all around, and many thanks to all of you for your ongoing support of traditional artists.
For information about both agencies and their programs, including The Year of the Arts campaign, visit their websites at: CAC www.cac.ca.gov and NEA arts.endow.gov. CIBA Selects New Resource Program Head
We
are pleased to introduce Erin Noel, hired in November to replace Steve
Nicola as head of CIBA's Resource Protection Program. Noel, 32, is a graduate
of the UC Berkeley School of Law, and holds an Environmental Certificate
from that institution. In addition, she serves on the Executive Committee
of the Environmental Law Section of the State Bar. Noel will be leading
CIBA's efforts to sway policy related to use of herbicides and access
to basketry materials on public and other lands. She also has some personal
goals for her job. "I want to raise the level of public awareness
regarding the increased use of forestry herbicides over the past several
years," Noel says. "The potential long term impacts to California
Indian basketweavers are a matter of grave concern." Noel believes
that this area of Forest Service policy in California has had very little
scrutiny since the resolution of a lawsuit filed in the mid-1980s, particularly
compared to other forest management issues.
In addition, Noel says that developing direct relationships with CIBA
members is critical. "The original people of California need to be
represented when government policies are developed and implemented that
impact their use and relationship with native plants and
animals. I want to work with basketweavers to make sure that my work reflects
basketweavers' needs, and I am available to hear and discuss ideas that
any basketweaver member has for the program," said Noel. In the coming
year Erin will be working to devise a long-term strategy for CIBA's resource
protection work, in order to build momentum for achieving our goals. Further,
she would like to help interested basketweavers gain better access to
the media and important policy makers.
A resident of rural Nevada County, Erin also has worked with and helped
to found local, state and national conservation, environmental justice,
and community service organizations. Prior to joining CIBA, she served
as staff attorney for the Sierra Nevada Forest Protection Campaign, where
she represented its member groups in negotiations and meetings with various
agencies, pursued changes in national forest policy, and conducted legal
research related to public lands, the Endangered Species Act, and the
California Forest Practices Act. Previously, she was public lands planner
for the California Native Plant Society.

Appeal Brings Reassessment of Modoc Herbicide Project
The
Modoc National Forest has gone back to the drawing board to take another
look at the potential impacts of their proposed Long-Damon herbicide project.
The Regional Forester ordered a new environmental assessment following
an appeal late last year by CIBA and a local chapter of the California
Native Plant Society. The Forest Service project calls for applying the
herbicide hexazinone from helicopters over approximately 5,300 acres of
forestlands containing sensitive species, including culturally important
plants (see NL #32). Our appeal was granted based on failure of the Modoc
NF to adequately analyze the effects of the project on globe mallow, a
sensitive plant species, and wildlife species called "management
indicator species" by the Forest Service. Management indicator species
are supposed to receive special attention when planning projects, as the
health of the species is thought to represent the health of the larger
ecosystem. However, almost no mention of several management indicator
species was made in the Modoc NF analysis. We raised other issues that
were not upheld on appeal, including the effects of the herbicide on culturally
important plants and the ecological health of the area.
We have been asked to submit comments by March 21 on what the new environmental
assessment should contain. Despite the re-assessment, which may result
in a reduction in the area treated with herbicide, we are concerned that
harmful impacts will still remain. We intend to continue addressing what
we see as critical issues throughout the assessment process. We would
like to hear from basketweavers who have concerns about the project or
who have an interest in the Modoc National Forest generally. Please contact
Resource Protection Coordinator Erin Noel at (530) 292-4276 (email: enoel@jps.net).
In
Remembrance Margaret Baty (Mono)
We
regret to announce the death of yet another valued basketweaver and CIBA
memberMargaret Baty, of Big Sandy Rancheria. Margaret was dedicated to preserving
the Western Mono culture, sharing her knowledge at local schools and with
university students in Native American Studies, assisting archaeoligists
in researching local land sites, and working with local Forest Service staff.
Margaret was born in Auberry, speaking only her native Mono language until
she entered government school, later attending Sherman Institute in Riverside.
We are saddened by the loss of another member of the California Indian community,
but know that Margaret's efforts have gone far toward preserving Indian
culture and values for the future.

Redwood
Valley Reservation is hosting classes on Pomo basketry, native food preparation,
storytelling and other Pomo cultural activities to both Pomo adults and
school-aged reservation youth. Julia Parker, Bonnie Elliott, and other
local Pomo artists teach the classes. The Tribe is also working on a 1/4-acre
Pomo Basketry Garden.
The Redwood Valley Little River Band of Pomo Indians are the residents
of the Redwood Valley Reservation in Mendocino County which is comprised
of 10.4 acres of the old Rancheria under Indian ownership and 170 acres
purchased by the Tribe in 1985. The Redwood Valley Rancheria is the ancestral
home of the Little River Pomo.
Among many goals, the Redwood Valley Reservation listed preserving tradition and culture as one of the top priorities. Many tribal members felt that reviving basket weaving would help them restore their cultural identity and build more pride.
In 1998, the Tribe received a grant from USDA to conduct a feasibility study on a Pomo Basketweaving Garden and Training Center. Sage LaPena was the consultant on the garden design and cultivation techniques. The Tribe further completed a five-year plan to guide the effort to make the project self-sufficient.
In 1999, the Tribe was funded by the California Arts Council to bring Bonnie Elliott, a Pomo Master Weaver from a nearby Pomo Tribe, to teach Pomo cradle basketweaving. Seven students graduated from the classes with a total of 10 miniature cradle baskets! In the same year, American Native Administration approved a funding request for building a Pomo Basketweaving Garden on the Reservation. The funding is crucial in solving material safety and accessibility problems.
We have completed a greenhouse and transplanted sedge, bracken fern and dogwood. During the next few months, we will be planting redbud, bulrush, soap root and other plants of cultural significance. In the future, the Garden will be used for gathering, field trips and an outdoor classroom.
Julia Parker is teaching a series of Saturday workshops on Pomo Basketry, traditional food preparation, storytelling, songs and games. Bonnie Elliot teaches a Pomo cradle basket course on weekends. Since the program is still in its infancy, classes are open to Native Americans only. As our capacity grows, more classes and training will be offered to the public.
The mission of the Pomo Basketry Project is to provide educational, economic and social opportunities for Native Americans through artistic development in Pomo basketry and other creative cultural activities. Following are the major components in developing the Pomo Basketweaving Training Center:
- Establishment of an on-site Pomo Basketweaving Garden
- Comprehensive training program in Pomo Basketry and other related cultural activities
- Development of programs for youth to understand and carry on their Pomo heritage
- Provide economic opportunities for basketweaving artists to work as cultural demonstrators and trainers.

more information, please call Zhao Qiu at 707/485-0361.

Restrictions
on herbicide use and protection of oaks are just two of the many benefits
that may flow from a new Forest Service plan for the Sierra Nevada, adopted
in January. The "Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment" seeks
to address current management issues in a coordinated and consistent manner
across the eleven national forests within the Sierra Nevada range and
the Modoc Plateau (see NL #31).
The plan provides significant new direction in a number of areas that
are important to California Indians in general and basketweavers in particular.
In
addition to protecting oaks and restricting herbicide use in areas of
concern to Indian people, the plan requires that culturally important
plants be monitored, emphasizes protection of indigenous knowledge, and
provides for increased participation of tribal representatives in project
planning and decision-making. The plan also prioritizes thinning of forests
for fire safety in developed areas. Finally, the plan states a commitment
to redeeming the trust relationship between the tribes and the federal
government.
How much and what form benefits may take in given situations likely will depend on how involved basketweavers and others become in working with local national forest officials to interpret and implement the plan. Basketweavers will have numerous opportunities to propose and participate in cultural burning and habitat stewardship projects, as well as monitoring of culturally important plants. Those who live near or use the Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Tahoe, Eldorado, Stanislaus, Sierra, Inyo, Sequoia, and Humboldt-Toiyabe national forests and the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit should contact the tribal relations coordinator at the local Forest Supervisor's office for further information about the new plan.
CIBA has prepared a summary of provisions of the plan that might be of
special interest to basketweavers. If you would like to receive a copy
of the summary or if you have questions about the plan, please contact
Resource Policy Analyst Vivian Parker at (530) 622-8718 (email: vparker@innercite.com).
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the plan itself, she can
also direct you to the appropriate Forest Service office.

On Sunday, April 29 from 11am to 3pm, nearly twenty new exhibits will be available to visitors at the free Grand Opening Celebration of the City of Roseville's new Maidu Interpretive Center, located at 1960 Johnson Ranch Drive, in the northeast corner of Maidu Park in Roseville, California.
The
new exhibits include a 68 foot long mural depicting daily life in a Maidu
Indian village, along with cases illustrating the cultural artifacts of
village life. Hands-on exhibits on trade routes, petroglyphs, toys and
games, and animal habitats will provide interest for children and adults.
Two exhibit cases will house basketry displays, including many baskets
on loan from the State of California Museum Resource Center. The California
Indian Basketweavers Association is highlighted in one exhibit, as well
as several contemporary basketweavers. Other exhibits describe music and
ceremony, plant foods and medicines. An exhibit on contemporary Maidu,
as well as a traveling California State Park exhibit on the Impact of
the Gold Rush connect the past with the living Maidu culture today. A
map and artifacts from tribes across North America will provide a comparative
glimpse of American Indian cultures.
The Grand Opening Celebration will also feature cultural demonstrations, native plant and archaeology talks, dance and drumming groups and tours of the Maidu Historic Site, a 30-acre, fenced ancient Maidu village site featuring petroglyphs and over 300 bedrock mortars. Everyone is invited to attend and enjoy the day!
For more information, contact the Maidu Interpretive Center at (916) 772-4242. The Maidu Interpretive Center is operated by the Roseville Parks and Recreation Department in cooperation with the Maidu Interpretive Center Foundation and advisors from organizations and communities throughout the region.
