In this episode I sit down with Traditional/ Contemporary Basketmaker after her recent showing of her art at the Ganondagan State Historic Sites' 5th juried Hodinöhsö:ni’ Art Show. Carrie shares with me some of her process and what it is like to be a Basket Maker, but more importantly what it is like to be a Wife and a Mother. How she has grown through motherhood and through her art. She has taken a contemporary approach to basket making and has her own interpretations of Traditional Basketry. 

I sit down with Tyson and Kelly Back Akwesasne Mohawk couple, Tyson is a laborer by trade, Kelly is a homemaker and the two of them collaborate to create beautiful works of art through loom work beading.
