Synopsis

Summary

Traditionally, the men in Kunu’s family weave baskets from ash strips. Kunu is eager to do the same, but he grows frustrated as he struggles to master the techniques. His grandfather steps in to encourage and assist, patiently walking Kunu through the process of creating and weaving the strips, and reassuring Kunu that it took him seven tries to get his first basket right when his own grandfather taught him to weave.
