Weaving the traditions and
culture from the past with the present is the work of the Northwest Native
American Basketweavers Association (NNABA). They provide and promote
opportunities for Northwest Native American Basketweavers to pursue the study
of traditional basketweaving techniques and forms. To display and share their
tradition and teachings, NNABA offers
-
awareness of and education about
the diverse weaving arts of the Northwest,
-
increased Native access to
traditional cultural resources on public and tribal lands, and
-
unity and communication in
social and cultural environments for the teachers and apprentices of
traditional and contemporary basketweaving.
Our basketweaving traditions
continue in a cultural and spiritual environment for all Basketweavers to enjoy
with respect for our elders and for Mother Earth.
To share in our annual
Gatherings, please visit our Events page for point of contacts and additional
information.
