DESCRIPTION:Visit the NACDI Farmers Market and watch renowned Anishinaab
 e Black Ash weaver April Ogimaakwe Stone demonstrate the traditional 
 art of Black Ash basketry and weaving. Stop by to learn about this art f
 orm\, ask questions\, and see the weaving process up close.\n\nThe Farme
 rs Market takes place in the NACDI parking lot\, with the demonstration 
 held in the Gallery.\n\nAbout the artist\n\nApril Ogimaakwe Stone\, an 
 Ojibwe Black Ash basket maker from the Bad River reservation in northern
  Wisconsin\, has been working with black ash since 1998. She spent one y
 ear studying a basket in use before attempting to weave her first basket
  in the spring of 1999 and ended up falling in love with all things conn
 ected to this craft including live harvest and log processing of raw mat
 erial into usable splint for weaving. Since 2000\, she has researched an
 d traveled extensively\, sharing her skills with young and old. April ha
 rvests all of her raw materials from the ceded territory swamps and fore
 sts of northern Wisconsin and processes it all by hand\, providing beaut
 iful\, natural material for her own baskets and for baskets made by othe
 rs. She believes in the traditional skill building of handwork and the h
 ealing power of making baskets and has received much recognition for her
  working knowledge of Black Ash basketry\, while being thought of as a p
 atient and gentle educator.\n\n“Baapaagimaak (black ash) marked the be
 ginning of my journey with traditional craft as an Indigenous woman from
  northern Wisconsin..opening me up to the establishment of greater conne
 ctions with other plant beings that exist all around me and what histori
 cally was made with them.”
