Maliseet baskets are traditional woven items created by the Maliseet (also known as Malecite) people, part of the Wabanaki Confederacy in what is now Maine (USA) and New Brunswick (Canada).
Maliseet artisans are renowned for their skill in basketry, particularly using brown ash (black ash, Fraxinus nigra) splints, often combined with sweetgrass. These baskets serve both practical and artistic purposes and form part of a broader Wabanaki (Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq) tradition.
