Christine "Cookie" Barrett is a well known  Abenaki basketmaker. Christine's family has been making and selling baskets since the 1900's, for many generations! Many of the baskets were sold to tourists to supplement the family income.

Christine gathers sweet grass and black ash to make her baskets. Christine enjoys creating and sharing the Abenaki craft; a part of her heritage. She looks forward to the day she will pass her artistic abilities to her granddaughter, Krista Rose.
