Summary

"The Southern Paiute and Chemehuevi people have lived for countless generations in the southern Great Basin of western North America in a homeland that extends to parts of Utah, Nevada, California, and northern Arizona. Southern Paiute and Chemehuevi basket weaving is a traditional and evolving art form that connects weavers to their ancestors and to the natural world. This publication, years in the making, includes chapters by Catherine S. Fowler, Judith W. Finger, John J. Kania, and Larry Dalrymple that explore the cultural history, the work of known weavers, and the characteristics and development of basketry from the 1870s to 2022. It focuses particularly on the fine-coiled work produced during the American Arts and Crafts Movement period of the 1890s to 1930s. Working separately and together, the authors analyzed over 1,200 baskets in museum collections across the United States, from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., to the Lost City Museum in Henderson, Nevada. They researched the baskets' collectors--from John Wesley Powell to Helen J. Stewart and Isabel T. Kelly--and conducted interviews with contemporary weavers. The book is lavishly illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs"-- Provided by publisher.
