John Pigeon is a Potawatomi basket maker who teaches traditional black ash basketry. John Pigeon’s basket making class was the subject of Chapter 14 of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass. John doesn’t just teach how to weave the baskets, but how to make them from scratch, starting with the living black ash tree. He weaves Potawatomi teachings into his classes as well.
