With hundreds of vivid and detailed color photographs and an easy
narrative style enlivened by historical vignettes and images, the
authors bring overdue appreciation to a centuries-old Native
American basketmaking tradition in the Northeast. Explore the full
range of vintage Indian woodsplint and sweetgrass basketry in the
Northeastern U.S. and Canada, from practical "work" baskets made
for domestic use to whimsical "fancy" wares that appealed to
Victorian tourists. Basket collectors may compare four regional
styles: Southern New England and Long Island, Northern New England
and Canadian Maritimes, Upper New York State, and the Great Lakes.
Learn of the craft's key role in supporting many Eastern Algonquian
and Iroquoian peoples through generations of turmoil and change.
Discover how today's creative young artisans are building upon
their legacy. The book's "Resources" section guides readers to
relevant websites and publications as well as northeastern Indian
basketry collections in more than 30 public museums.
