Micmac sweetgrass and ash splint baskets are traditionally made from natural materials sourced from their environment. Sweetgrass, known for its fragrant aroma, is often harvested and braided to create a decorative and functional element in the baskets. Ash splints, derived from the wood of the black ash tree, are processed into thin strips and woven together to form the structure of the basket. Together, these materials embody the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the Micmac people.
