Basket Maker is a journey from past to present with a compilation of footage from Catherine Martin's personal film images as well as archival footage of Mi'kmaw women basket makers. "It is like having a good visit with those women basket makers who influenced me early in my life.”, said film maker, Catherine Martin. The film honors them for the contribution made to our families and nation as entrepreneurs and keepers of ancient knowledge.
