In this episode of Cherokee Artist Showcase, we sit down with Cherokee National Treasure Bessie Russell to discuss her artistic journey as a traditional basket maker and her love for sharing the art form with her students and family.

From now through October 30, you can see Russell’s artwork on display at the “Bessie Russell: Weaving a Tradition” exhibit at the Saline Courthouse Museum in Rose, Oklahoma. Learn more at www.VisitCherokeeNation.com.
