The video and for Basket Weaving” is a collaborative piece with Odawa poet and artist Colleen (Coco) Collins. Together we explore the ancestral experience of reconnection. In this instance, to a specific teaching and blood memory; that of the traditional basket weaving process – imagining ourselves on the river bed watching our Ancestors wade into the river to select the right piece of Ash to weave. Here, we question how far we have come as a society and look back in yearning and learning – as we also re-imagine our people gliding through history in Wiigwaas Jimnaan – (Anishinaabe word for Birchbark Canoe). Status/Non-Status is led by Anishinaabe musician and artist Adam Sturgeon.
