Maine Indian Sweetgrass Baskets

There is power in our Passamaquoddy basket art – it makes visible the tradition that created it and provides a lens into the past through visual imagery. Passamaquoddy baskets, as a tool for social transformation and shared cultural knowledge, have inherent power to build and strengthen new and healthy relationships with others. Our ancestors deserve the respect of having their stories come to life in the weaving of our baskets and the sharing of our traditional art.
