April 16, 2021- September 2022
Opens to the public in the Maran Gallery near the Maori House.
"This exhibition celebrates these baskets and their makers. It tells a story of survival and resilience. But it also contains a cautionary tale and a warning of environmental catastrophe as the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle from Asia, decimates black ash populations in North America. What will the Pokagon Potawatomi make their iconic baskets out of if all the black ash trees are gone? That is a question that concerns us all." -Dr. John N. Low, Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Co-Curator and Basket Caretaker.
