On view at the Schingoethe Center and the Edith Farnsworth House.

Pokagon Potawatomi Black Ash Baskets: Our Storytellers explores the artistry, tradition, and importance of basketmaking among the Pokagon band of the Potawatomi people. For the Pokagon Potawatomi, these baskets are regarded with the utmost honor, treated as living members of the community. However, over the past century, the practice of basket weaving has been threatened; first by the enforcement of oppressive government regulations and now by the ecological threat presented by the Emerald Ash Borer beetle.
