Description
These woven beauties are as much a part of their tradition as fishing and cropping. Trough these baskets, they tell their story and talk about the fish in the river, the leaves on the trees, the frogs chirping in the forest, the sun and the moon, and all the other things that make up their world.
The art of making the baskets has historically been passed on by the women, from generation to generation.
For a while it seemed as though the Eperara people and their culture were in danger of disappearing, but now, in an effort to preserve and reclaim their ancestral traditions, the women along with various governmental programs are consolidating their knowledge (patterns, colors, pigments, techniques, etc..) so that new generations can keep their traditions and stories alive and share them with the world.
