BackgroundMary Adams, a hereditary member of the Mohawk wolf clan, was born on Cornwall Island[1] at Akwesasne on the Mohawk Nation. Her Mohawk name Kawennatakie means "approaching voice." Basket makingAdams learned from her mother how to process black ash splints and sweetgrass and weave baskets. Adams made and sold baskets to support herself and her brother, often by trading them for cigarettes, which they then sold.[2] Later, she taught basket making on the Mohawk Reserve at Akwesasne.[3] Adams' duel cultural influences from ebeing Mohawk and Roman Catholic is, in the words of scholar Olivia Thornburn, "intervowen with her splint ash and sweet grass baskets." She was active in St. Regis Catholic Church.[2]{{rp|90}} Métis scholar Sherry Farrell Racette noted Adam's "skilled execution" in a unique stitch known as the "bird-mouth" stitch, and her skill in "texture created by the innovative application of tiny, miniature baskets."[3] In 1980, Adams presented Pope John Paul II with a basket specially made to honour the beatification of now St. Kateri Tekakwitha, a noted 17th-century Mohawk-Alonquian woman. Thornburn described the design of this basket, known as the Pope Basket, as "highly architectural and almost baroque ... . The design of the basket lid may reflect the papal zucchetto, or skullcap. Also, the shape of the basket is similar to Michelangelo's grand dome of St. Peter's Basilica."[2]{{rp|92}} During her life, she produced more than 25,000 baskets.[2]{{rp|95}} In 1997, she received an award for excellence in Iroquois art. Adams was included in the 1998 exhibition Crossing the Threshold, focusing on women artists, at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery.[4] FamilyMary Adams was married in 1934. The couple had twelve children.[4] CollectionsAdams's work is in the permanent collections of the Iroquois Indian Museum in New York, the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, the New York State Governor's Collection of Art in Albany and the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.[1] ExhibitionsHer work was exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution; Museum at the University at Albany, SUNY; the Heard Museum; the National Museum of the American Indian; the Pitt Rivers Museum, among other venues.[5][1] DeathIn 1999, Mary Adams died peacefully at her home surrounded by her loving family.
