Our
Lives In Our Hands examines the traditional Native American craft of
split ash basketmaking as a means of economic and cultural survival for
Aroostook Micmac Indians of northern Maine. This documentary of rural
off-reservation Indian artisans aims to break down stereotypical images.
Basketmakers are filmed at their craft in their homes, at work on local
potato farms and at business meetings of the Basket Bank, a cooperative
formed by the Aroostook Micmac Council. First person commentaries are
augmented by authentic 17th century Micmac music.
