Publisher's Synopsis
In 1999, Suzan Marie, a Dene with a passion for the traditional arts of her people, initiated a project to reintroduce the lost art of spruce root basketry to small Dene communities. This richly illustrated book tells the story of this modern revival of a traditional skill, and of the museum collections that were essential to the process, and will be a resource for anyone interested in Dene culture and heritage. It will also serve as a practical guide to artisans wishing to make a Dene spruce root basket.
