Hi Paulette,
Great to see your name again and to find out what you're working on. You might want to get in contact with some of the indigenous basket-making groups about the country. You've probably already talked to the folks at the California Basketweavers Association, but there's also the
Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, the
Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association, the
Oneida Basket Guild (WI), the
Great Basin Native Basketweavers Association, and the
Oklahoma Native American Basketweavers.
You might also want to check with
Honor the Earth. They're an awareness and support group for Native American environmental issues and I would guess know what kinds of policies exist or are in the works.
Stay safe!

Subject: Policies for gathering natural materials for traditional tribal use from public lands
Before I retired from my position as Tribal Affairs Manager, Cultural Resources Division, CA State Parks, 2 years ago, I was developing a policy to address this issue. Are others working in this area? Has anyone come up with a workable policy - on the federal, state, county or municipal level? I'd be glad to share what I find out. Thanks in advance for any information or guidance you can provide.
