Basket

Hi! My name is Daniel and I live in Maine with my family. We are part of a group of Native American tribes known as the Wabanaki—the People of the Dawn. Today I’m going to start learning about the old Wabanaki tradition of basketmaking from my grandmother, who is 87 years old. “You must start with a log from an ash tree,” she explains, “and then pound the log forcefully.” While she shows me, she tells me that basketmaking has been vital to the economy of many communities over the years. Not only are baskets used to transport just about everything, but they can also be sold as elaborate decorations. “Next you separate the ash strips from the log and make them smooth. Then weaving can begin,” she says, adding that other materials are often included…

A nail bitter, teeth clincher, bone shaker. This game was everything you want when you take the family out for an evening of high school basketball. The Falcons and The Stallions battled tick for tac down to the very last second, but there could only be one winner. The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9. The 2nd Qtr we had a little more action.…

me a lot about the background of Viki, one of the basket makers in the United States or specifically in Indiana. Besides that, the exhibit also tells me a lot about the process of making baskets. The process might be difficult for someone who is not familiar to basket making. There are three essential tools that are needed to make baskets and the tools are spitzka, pruning shears and pocketknife. All of these tools are required to shape and bend the willow to become a perfect basket. There are…

When basketball first started, the use of peach baskets would cause a stoppage of the game every time someone scored because the ball would be stuck in the basket (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). This slowed down the pace of the game. At first, someone with a ladder had to fetch the ball from the basket until eventually the bottoms were removed from the baskets. In 1893, after several attempts to alter or replace the basket, cast iron rims replaced these baskets (Kloppenburg, et al. 2013). This was a…

The Market Basket case focuses on how a family, when communication between members breaks down, can single handedly bring the downfall of a powerful, large, influential company. Even though a family owned company may start out working well, there is a high chance that after several generations, the communication between members falls apart and the avarice between members increase leaving the company to fend for itself as the families dual it out to figure out who has sole ownership of the…

Lucy Telles was a basket weaver of Yosemite Miwok and Mono Lake Paiute descent. Her basket weaving was known all over the valley in which she lived, and other women were inspired by her designs. Though there is not much information on Lucy, what’s been recorded is very astonishing. Lucy was born near Mono Lake in Mono County, California, in 1870. Her area’s typical traditional lifeways included a money system of purchased beans, coffee, white bread, cloth, acorns, and fish. She lived in the…

terrorized through biological, cultural, and physical warfare (Laljani 2020, 19-22). Basket-making and the basket dance are fundamental aspects of Navajo culture and acknowledge significant life events within the Navajo tribe. One’s life and experiences can be tracked through the intricate weaving of each basket (Mozdy 2017). The tribe was stripped of their spiritual, religious, cultural, and artistic values through colonialism. Art forms like the basket dance and basket weaving were abandoned…

The Apache are an interesting Native American tribe. One interesting part of their culture is the baskets they create. The uses of their baskets, as well as their design and materials, are somewhat unique to them. While these baskets aren’t made anymore, they are still an interesting sight to behold. Most of the original baskets were made of willow sprouts, which are normally white. These willow sprouts were dried for use by the sun, creating its yellow color. Other materials included devilsclaw…
