Penobscot Basket Maker

"Penobscot Basket Maker"  was completed in 2003 and is about the life and work of Native American basket maker Barbara Francis. Barbara is a Penobscot Indian who lives and works in Maine on Indian Island. She is an amazing person and basket maker, and is becoming well known and appreciated throughout the country. In addition to numerous awards at Native American art shows Barbara was recently awarded a grant by the Smithsonian Institute to research Native American artifacts held by the Smithsonian Museum. She also was invited by the Peabody-Essex Museum to exhibit and demonstrate her work in September 2004. I met her and her husband, Marty, in 2001 when we moved to Maine
