Frontlines Are Everywhere | Ep. 14 - Vivian Garner Cottrell, Weaving a Rivercane Resurgence

Vivian Garner Cottrell, Cherokee National Treasure and basket maker, is leading the rivercane basket weaving resurgence. In this episode, she joins Jeff to discuss the significance of basket-weaving and her early challenges making baskets out of rivercane. Deeply connected with her mom and ancestral practices, Vivian describes the process of making a basket, from harvesting and dying to the intensive weaving patterns. The basket is a statement of Indigenous resilience, and Vivian continues to share her knowledge with younger generations so that rivercane basket-weaving extends into the future.
