Indian Basketry of the Northeastern Woodlands

I have not found many books that are authoritative on basket making before European contact. This one is though! It has a great history on the baskets of the northeast and good instructions on maki g the ash splints. It’s a good book.

Wonderful resource. The only book I've found that concentrates on Northeast US/Canada Indian baskets. Packed with hundreds of excellent color photos. Many close-ups. Between the photos and the actual lists of specific characteristics to look for to help identify Northeast baskets by region, I've already figured out I have a couple of Iroquois cornhusk baskets, along with a Great Lakes birchbark and a southern New England wood splint basket. A couple of my others are from northern New England and Canada.The book is a wealth of information for the collector, but also just fun to look at. You may well find that your mother's old family sewing basket is actually Indian-made. A final section of the book is devoted to some current Northeastern Indian basketmakers who have taken the traditional craft to an art. There is also a nice list of resources included (other reading, videos, websites, and relevant museums). Awesome book.

Fast delivery

beautiful pictures but needs to be more specific with areas of natives that they were made by. Maybe could have added more about some of the weavers themselves

Great resource for learning about NE Woodlands Indian baskets. Well researched and clearly presented!

Nice book
