About the Artist

The Akwesasne Mohawk community straddles the U.S./Canadian border along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Mohawk Crafts, Inc. was formed in upstate New York to encourage continuation of the craft-making traditions of the Akwesasne Mohawk People. The women of Akwesasne have traditionally woven splint and sweetgrass baskets which have gained them international recognition.
