A tradition that dates back almost ten thousand years, basketry is
an integral aspect of Cherokee culture. In the mountains of Western
North Carolina, stunning baskets are still made from rivercane,
white oak and honeysuckle and dyed with roots and bark. "Cherokee
Basketry" describes the craft's forms, functions and methods and
records the tradition's celebrated makers. This complex art- passed
down from mothers to daughters- is a thread that bonds modern
Native Americans to ancestors and traditional ways of life. Anna
Fariello, associate professor at Western Carolina University,
reveals that baskets hold much more than food and clothing. Woven
with the stories of those who produce and use them, these
masterpieces remain a powerful testament to creativity and
imagination.
