This collection includes a series of filmed meetings of the California Indian Arts (CIA) Association, recorded between the years of 1994-2000. The CIA was founded in 1994 to provide a forum for discussions pertaining to the arts, artifacts, and culture of the Indians of Southern California. Meetings featured presentations by experts in topics such as basketry, pottery, archaeology, and rock art. Professional video was filmed live at all CIA programs, except for those where the topic was of a sensitive nature or where filming was not practical. The collection also includes issues of the CIA monthly newsletter, which contain meeting minutes, event listings, and photos.
