Stories of culture, tradition, art
and sustainability are woven
into Black Ash Baskets
by generations of
Anishinabek basketmakers.
In this documentary we
hear those stories from
basketmakers and elders who
lean on a spirit of courage,
resilience and hope while
facing a devastating threat of
the loss of the black ash tree
due to the advance of an
invasive Asian Beetle -
the Emerald Ash Borer
. . . includes
an interview with USDA
entomologist Leah Bauer.
