Buffie Gideon Lee

Mi’Kmaq, Gesgapegiag First Nation

I am Buffie Gideon Lee. I am a Mi’Kmaq, and a member of both the Gesgapegiag band in Quebec and the Aroostook and in Maine. While I learned traditional Mi’Kmaq basket weaving as a youngster, from my elders, it wasn’t until I broke my boyfriend’s antique woven chair that I had to expand my weaving skills to include furniture!

I learned quickly; we have been married and I have been doing furniture weaving since 2012. I weave new children’s woven stools, chairs and rockers, reweave heirloom furniture, and as demand dictates, conduct workshops to teach various weaving techniques.

Please contact me for all of your weaving wants and needs!
