About the presenter: I am Kimberly Crowley, Thunder Clan Member of the Ho-Chunk Nation. I am the 3rd daughter of Sidney Hall Sr. and Christine Hall. I grew up in Wittenberg, Wisconsin with my 10 siblings. I now now reside in Baraboo, Wisconsin with my family, and spend my time making and teaching black ash basket classes. I have 2 granddaughters that I have been teaching and are my apprentices-in-training, Brook had been with me learning basket making for 10 yrs and her sister Ariel is also learning at a young age of 8 yrs old. They both come and assist me during our basket classes, both have made and have baskets along with myself at several museums around Wisconsin. I have been making and selling baskets for over 44 yrs. and just within the last 5 yrs I have been teaching black ash basket making, an art that is slowly dying out.
