Ed Eugene Carriere (Suquamish): NEA National Heritage Fellows Tribute Video (2023)

Learn how Ed Eugene Carriere (Suquamish)’s great-grandmother and more than 225 generations of his ancestors from the Suquamish Tribe taught him the 4,500-year-old art of Salish basketry. From Indianola, Washington, Carriere weaves the tale of using the clam-gathering baskets he creates to pass on the deep-rooted cultural and artistic heritage of the Salish Sea and its peoples to the next generation.

I love Ed. I love his stories how his mother who was very young when she had him, gave him to her
grandmother (I think, I'll watch it again. Everything about him, his land his weaving, his love for nature
makes me nostalgic for times when we went in the so called bush and gathered, wild asparagus, berries, fruit that I have never seen anywhere in all the countries we lived in. How much we appreciated a wooden spoon, a chair, logs for the fire, a match, a bambus rod for fishing, everything was meaningful, magical, purposeful. Thank you.

Will Ed be able to pass this land down to a child or sibling? What will happen to the land if not?
