Here is the information on the Black Ash Symposium which will be held April 6th at the Comfort Inn Conference Center in Plainwell, MI. The registration materials are here and schedule is here.
This Conference will bring together Native Nations from the North Eastern US and Canada to discuss what is happening in their communities and what we can do to work together to sustain the tradition of Black ash basketry for all of our people for centuries to come.
Black ash basket weavers from Native communities in Michigan, Maine, Minnesota, New York and Canada will present important information and share what work their communities have been doing to prepare for EAB, and preserve basketry in their communities. Working together we can make a difference!
