The late\u00a0Salli Benedict<\/strong>\u00a0of the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne collected traditional hand-crafted baskets from around the Great Lakes region, recognizing the importance of these items, their creation, and associated teachings to the community. The Salli Benedict basket collection and very detailed information on each basket was given to the\u00a0Native North American Travelling College<\/a>\u00a0(NNATC) in Akwesasne to house and display so that visitors to the centre can also view and appreciate them.<\/p>\n

Researchers from\u00a0Carleton University\u2019s Centre for Indigenous Research, Culture, Language & Education<\/a>\u00a0(CIRCLE) and the Great Lakes Alliance for Research on Indigenous Arts & Cultures<\/a> (GRASAC) have teamed up with the NNATC to identify connections between this collection and others in the GRASAC knowledge sharing database. The team is finding links between the Salli Benedict collection and audio visual (AV) materials that capture basket making and its cultural significance in the community.<\/p>\n

As part of this process the team is digitizing AV collections that include important teachings about Haudenosaunee culture and creating digital records of the Salli Benedict basket collection. In addition to creating GRASAC records, the broader goals are to save important teachings that are currently on degrading AV media and to make information about the cultural significance of basket making more accessible to the community and beyond.<\/p>\n
