Pueblo Indian Textiles
Author: Kate Peck Kent
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
"For the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona, the tradition of weaving and decorating textiles reaches almost two thousand years into the past. Yet because the Pueblos seldom make their traditional textiles for sale to visitors and collectors, their weaving and embroidery have long been overshadowed in popular attention by the better known textiles of the Navajos. This heavily illustrated study, a long overdue and long awaited volume on Pueblo textiles. based on the splendid collection at the School of American Research, examines all forms of Pueblo textiles and describes their unique weaving processes, their wools, and --whenever possible--the symbolic and cultural meaning that textiles and their designs have held for the Pueblo peoples. This volume is certain to become a basic reference tool for anyone interested in American Indian textiles. 130 pages, 65 b/w and 24 color photographs, 15 drawings." - from Amazon.

A New Deal for Navajo Weaving
Author: Jennifer McLerran
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 081654624X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
A New Deal for Navajo Weaving provides a detailed history of early to mid-twentieth-century Diné weaving projects by non-Natives who sought to improve the quality and marketability of Navajo weaving but in so doing failed to understand the cultural significance of weaving and its role in the lives of Diné women. By the 1920s the durability and market value of Diné weavings had declined dramatically. Indian welfare advocates established projects aimed at improving the materials and techniques. Private efforts served as models for federal programs instituted by New Deal administrators. Historian Jennifer McLerran details how federal officials developed programs such as the Southwest Range and Sheep Breeding Laboratory at Fort Wingate in New Mexico and the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild. Other federal efforts included the publication of Native natural dye recipes; the publication of portfolios of weaving designs to guide artisans; and the education of consumers through the exhibition of weavings, aiding them in their purchases and cultivating an upscale market. McLerran details how government officials sought to use these programs to bring the Diné into the national economy; instead, these federal tactics were ineffective because they marginalized Navajo women and ignored the important role weaving plays in the resilience and endurance of wider Diné culture.
