About Ramona Nicholas

Ramona Nicholas is from Nekutkuk. She learned how to make baskets just over 20 years ago from Victor Bear. Her grandparents, Connie Bernard and William “Nick” Nicholas, were also basket makers and it is where she draws her talent. Although she loves making baskets, it is not her full time work. She studied at St. Thomas University for her BA. Her major was Native Studies and Anthropology. She continued with her education to get a MA at UNB with her focus on Archaeology. A few years ago she recreated a museum exhibit at the Fredericton Region Museum called the Wabanaki Way, this inspired her to once again continue her education and is currently enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Ph. D program at UNB. Her creativity and spirituality brings balance to her ever evolving life.
