Pueblo Indian Textiles by Kate Peck Kent Pdf

"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 by Jennifer McLerran Pdf

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.

Honoring the Weavers by Gregory Schaaf Pdf

From the Introduction The time has come to honor the weavers. For over 2,000 years, men and women in the Southwest have woven beautiful textiles, baskets and other fine weavings. The oldest known vegetal fiber twinings and yucca plaited wares may date back over ten millenia. Coiled basketry soon emerged, followed by fabrics from natural plants. Cotton weaving began in Mesoamerica and spread northward in the tradition of Kokopelli. Most of the weavers have remained anonymous up to the present time. Living weavers and their ancient ancestors deserve our respect, inspiring our title, ?Honoring the Weavers.?

Blanket Weaving in the Southwest by Joe Ben Wheat Pdf

Exquisite blankets, sarapes and ponchos handwoven by southwestern peoples are admired throughout the world. Despite many popularized accounts, serious gaps have existed in our understanding of these textiles—gaps that one man devoted years of scholarly attention to address. During much of his career, anthropologist Joe Ben Wheat (1916-1997) earned a reputation as a preeminent authority on southwestern and plains prehistory. Beginning in 1972, he turned his scientific methods and considerable talents to historical questions as well. He visited dozens of museums to study thousands of nineteenth-century textiles, oversaw chemical tests of dyes from hundreds of yarns, and sought out obscure archives to research the material and documentary basis for textile development. His goal was to establish a key for southwestern textile identification based on the traits that distinguish the Pueblo, Navajo, and Spanish American blanket weaving traditions—and thereby provide a better way of identifying and dating pieces of unknown origin. Wheat's years of research resulted in a masterful classification scheme for southwestern textiles—and a book that establishes an essential baseline for understanding craft production. Nearly completed before Wheat's death, Blanket Weaving in the Southwest describes the evolution of southwestern textiles from the early historic period to the late nineteenth century, establishes a revised chronology for its development, and traces significant changes in materials, techniques, and designs. Wheat first relates what Spanish observers learned about the state of native weaving in the region—a historical review that reveals the impact of new technologies and economies on a traditional craft. Subsequent chapters deal with fibers, yarns, dyes, and fabric structures—including an unprecedented examination of the nature, variety, and origins of bayeta yarns—and with tools, weaves, and finishing techniques. A final chapter, constructed by editor Ann Hedlund from Wheat's notes, provides clues to his evolving ideas about the development of textile design. Hedlund—herself a respected textile scholar and a protégée of Wheat's—is uniquely qualified to interpret the many notes he left behind and brings her own understanding of weaving to every facet of the text. She has ensured that Wheat's research is applicable to the needs of scholars, collectors, and general readers alike. Throughout the text, Wheat discusses and evaluates the distinct traits of the three textile traditions. More than 200 photos demonstrate these features, including 191 color plates depicting a vast array of chief blankets, shoulder blankets, ponchos, sarapes, diyugi, mantas, and dresses from museum collections nationwide. In addition, dozens of line drawings demonstrate the fine points of technique concerning weaves, edge finishes, and corner tassels. Through his groundbreaking and painstaking research, Wheat created a new view of southwestern textile history that goes beyond any other book on the subject. Blanket Weaving in the Southwest addresses a host of unresolved issues in textile research and provides critical tools for resolving them. It is an essential resource for anyone who appreciates the intricacy of these outstanding creations.
