This hands-on experience delves into the cultural significance of basketry, highlighting its role in preserving Menominee heritage. Additionally, gain insight into the ecological challenges posed by the emerald ash borer insect, which threatens the very materials essential to this craft. Discover the importance of sustaining these practices and the efforts to protect and rejuvenate the resources vital to Menominee culture.
