Youth Track: On Friday October 6th, the youth will meet in a designated area along with their teach-
ers to learn a basket project or two. The program allows local youth, member’s children, and any oth-
er interested youth to learn basketry and hopefully become our future master weavers.

Please plan on staying with any young children, for example first grade and lower age range, because
we don’t have extra personnel to help supervise them; but if your children are older grade schoolers
and higher please plan on having them attend
The youth but they will need to register their name, age, hometown and tribal affiliation as applicable.
Youth Track participants will receive a grey ticket when checking in at the Youth Track room en-
trance, which they can give to a Youth Track teacher to begin their project. Session time 9-11:30 &
12-2:30, please pick up your youth for during the break so our instructors can have lunch.

Weaving the traditions and culture from the past to present is the work of the Northwest Native American Basketry Association
(NNABA) as we follow our mission to preserve, promote, and perpetuate the traditional art of our Pacific Northwest Native
American basketry.
Traditional basket weavers from Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest organized the first
Annual Gathering of Basket Weavers in 1995. Since then, the Association has worked to increase the
respect showed this important cultural art form by providing opportunities for weavers to study bas-
ketry and showcase their work in a healthy social, cultural, spiritual, and economic environment for
native basketry.

For the past 22 years NNABA’s efforts have brought more recognition, respect, and interest to this
beautiful form of art through organizing an Annual Gathering of basket weavers honoring Master Na-
tive American Basket Weavers to lead our weavers teaching weavers program to 700 members resid-
ing in WA, OR, ID, MT, and BC representing 50 tribes.
The Annual Gathering moves to a different tribal location each year in Washington, Oregon, and Ida-
ho. Moving the Gathering allows members of all tribes to participate without incurring prohibitive
travel expenses. It also allows us to showcase local weaving specialties and honor the finest local
weavers.
As our family of member weavers grows and ages, we recognized the need to educate our youth by
not only emphasizing youth involvement through learning basketry in our Youth Track program which
has grown significantly to 200 but by teaching. We have added an important element to our pro-
grams to perpetuate our art and our organizational goals with the introduction of our Youth Instruc-
tors Teaching Elders program. This program is created to give our youth weavers an opportunity to
become not only future master weavers but qualified teachers to ensure the art techniques, practices
and concerns of basketry are shared; while at the same time learning from their student our valued
and honored elders.

Elder, join us in the green room behind the stage, to participate in this program. You may work with our instruc-
tors, visit with them, share stories and gain friends while creating one project each 9-2 both Friday and Saturday,
space and time available.
“2017 marks 15 Years of Giving at Potlatch Fund – during which over $3.7 million has been granted in sup-
port of Native initiatives in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. This milestone will be celebrated dur-
ing our Annual Fundraising Gala on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at the Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort.
The evening celebrates tradition and culture, while bringing together Tribal and grassroots Native leaders,
foundation and corporate representatives, and others invested in Indian Country. It is also when we formally
acknowledge our Leadership Honoring, Philanthropist of the Year, and Social Innovation Awardees.

Nominees for the Leadership Honoring Awards are community driving, but staff members are encouraged to
nominate organizations they believe to be deserving of the Social Innovation Award. For 2017, Potlatch Fund
staff collectively agreed to nominate Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association to be the sole
recipient of the award. Our request was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors at their July
meeting. “ -Lawrence Leak, Potlatch Fund
Thank you Potlatch Fund
Staff & Board of Directors

NORTHWEST NATIVE AMERICAN
BASKETWEAVERS ASSOCIATION
(N.N.A.B.A)

Weaving the traditions and culture from the past with the present is the work of
the Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association (NNABA).
Traditional basket weavers from Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest organized
the first Annual Gathering of Basket Weavers in 1995. Since then, the Association has
worked to increase the respect showed this important cultural art form by:

1.Providing opportunities for weavers to study basketry and showcase their work.
2.Providing a healthy social, cultural, spiritual, and economic environment for
native basketry.
3.Working to ensure access to traditional cultural resources and gathering sites.
4.Providing education for Native Americans and the public of the artistry, prac-
tices, and concerns of basketry.

For the past 23 years NNABA’s efforts have brought more recognition, respect, and interest
to this beautiful form of art.
Each October, the Association organizes an Annual Gathering honoring up to 40 Master Na-
tive American Basketweavers to lead our weavers teaching weavers program to 700 mem-
bers residing in WA, OR, ID, MT, and BC representing 50 tribes.
At the gathering NNABA holds the youth track program, emphasizing youth involvement
through learning and teaching basketry; thus, the number of youth involved has grown sig-
nificantly to 200.
The Annual Gathering moves to a different tribal location each year. Gatherings have been
held in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Moving the Gathering allows members of all tribes
to participate without incurring prohibitive travel expenses. It also allows us to showcase
local weaving specialties and honor the finest local weavers.
