SOUTHWESTERN INDIAN BASKETS. Their History and Their Makers
Santa Fe: 1988. xvi, 219 pages, 14 color and 130 b/w photographs. Item #2588
This comprehensive history of the oldest Southwestern craft is unique in focusing as much on the people who make the baskets as on the baskets themselves. The historical and social contexts from which particular kinds of baskets emerged and changed is presented in this volume that views the basketry of the southern Paiutes, Navajos, Apaches, Yuman-Pai tribes, Piman peoples, and the Pueblos. In addition to examining the historical antecedents of Southwestern basketry, this study pays particular attention to the current state of Southwestern basket-making as an art form.
