| Join CVAS for our first meeting of the new season! October 19th - 6:30 PM Guest Speaker: Rosemarie Kitchen Salinas The Coachella Valley Archaeological Society is honored to feature a discussion and demonstration of Cahuilla basket weaving by Rosie Kitchen Salinas (Mountain Cahuilla). She is a member of CIBA, California Indian Basket Weavers Association and Nex'wetem, Southern California Indian Basket Weaver's Association. Rosie also teaches basket weaving on several area reservations. Cahuilla baskets are renowned for their beauty and craftsmanship. The basket weaver's gatherings and weaving circles are a time for friends to share family history and current events. These conversations are spoken softly while everyone continues to weave, however, friendly laughter often breaks out when someone tells a funny story. Please join us for this unique opportunity to learn about this ancient Cahuilla tradition. |
