The craftspeople
at Ouje-Bougoumou are renowned for their skills. They demonstrate their talents
beautifully in their works of beaded moccasins, hand embroidered shoulder
bags and knapsacks,
mittens, boots,
bracelets, and snowshoes. Anna Bosum coordinates the production and sales of
the crafts, and organizes teaching sessions within the community.
