This is the first publication on a remarkable collection of
sixty-six outstanding Pueblo and Navajo textiles donated to the
Peabody Museum in the 1980s by William Claflin, Jr., a prominent
Boston businessman, avocational anthropologist, and patron of
Southwestern archaeology. Claflin bequeathed to the museum not only
these beautiful textiles, but also his detailed accounts of their
collection histories--a rare record of the individuals who had
owned or traded these weavings before they found a home in his
private museum. Textile scholar Laurie Webster tells the stories of
the weavings as they left their native Southwest and traveled
eastward, passing through the hands of such owners and traders as a
Ute Indian chief, a New England schoolteacher, a renowned artist,
and various military officers and Indian agents. Her concise
overview of Navajo and Pueblo weaving traditions is enhanced by the
reflections of noted artist and Navajo textile expert Tony Berlant
in his foreword to the text.
