MI'KMAQ QUILL BASKET ART

Wabanaki artisans (Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, etc.) in Eastern Canada weave ash splint baskets and embellish them with dyed porcupine quills arranged in star and double-curve motifs. A fragile but revived Indigenous heritage art, these quillwork baskets are inclusive cultural ambassadors, showcasing the meticulous skill and natural resources of the Eastern Woodlands.
