Gail Rokotiubau at Mashantucket Pequot Museum
New NBO member Gail Rokotiubau will be participating in a landmark anniversary exhibition at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum in the grand opening of their new multimedia art exhibit exclusively featuring Mashantucket Pequot artists. Gail is a Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Elder, and “a sweet grass, pine needle and gourd basket maker. I learned this art when I was only 14 but didn’t keep up with my basketry. At the time, I lacked appreciation for this cultural art. I went into painting, glass, tile and smalti mosaics. I raised six children, moved to the Fiji Islands, as a missionary and married my current husband who is from Fiji.”
