| Keywords: falling star fallingstar abenaki Photographed in 1902, one year before her death, Falling Star became famous as the last of her traditional tribe in the Adirondack region. Born Annie Denis, she was a direct descendent of famous Adirondack guide, Mitchell Sabattis. She lived most of her adult life in Lake Luzerne making traditional woven baskets and Native costume jewelry, many of which were sold from her summer cabin in Rainbow Lake in Franklin County. Most of her customers there were summer tourists staying at nearby Paul Smith's Hotel. Her native buckskin dress, boots and adornments were distinctive for their colorful beadwork and detail.
