Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luiseño Indians are indigenous to the Southern California coastal plains of northern San Diego and western Riverside counties, where they are recognized by the US Bureau of Indian Affairs as Mission Indians. They are also recognized by Indians and Non-Indians alike as weavers of some of the finest baskets, perhaps in the entire world.In August, 2004 the US Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp pane of which one stamp features the image of a basket from the Riverside Municipal Museums extensive collection. To celebrate that event, the Museum mounted an exhibit featuring most of the Luiseño baskets in the Museums collection. That exhibit expanded on a program initiated by the late Dr. Christopher Moser who, over a 23 year period mounted approximately ten exhibits of Western US Indian baskets. Those exhibits made available to the public almost every one of the museums nearly 3,000 Indian baskets, an unheard of feat in museum circles. Not only did Chris almost single handedly mount the many exhibits, he also authored and published four major catalogues on those exhibits, which, over the last 20 years, evolved into the most authoritative documents ever written on Southern California Indian baskets. This author was privileged to have worked with Dr. Moser on two of those titles. It was therefore an honor to be asked by Dr. H. Vincent Moses, the Riverside Municipal Museum Director, to prepare this catalogue. It is an even greater honor to be able to dedicate this catalogue to Chris whom the author held in such high esteem.

Book Synopsis Contemporary California Indian Basketry by : Bev Ortiz
Download or read book Contemporary California Indian Basketry written by Bev Ortiz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baskets have been woven for at least 10,000 years in the area now known as the western United States. Originally created by California Indians as utilitarian objects for everyday family use, by the late 1800s baskets had become a commodity that provided much-needed income. Collector interest in baskets resulted in an expanding literature that focused on their collectability, promoted their making with largely store-bought, imported materials, and compared their techniques of fabrication. While most basketry literature, whether scholarly or popular, has largely concerned itself with the object (form, design, materials, technique, and function), since 1970, the literature on basketry has begun to shift its focus to the process and the weavers themselves. The present study begins by surveying the worldwide literature about basketry, with an emphasis on California Indian basketry. It recounts the history of the practice of basketry in California, which began to decline in the 1930s because of lack of need and interest, the economics of the Depression, and a desire to not stand out as Indian. Attention then shifts to organizational efforts by California Indians since 1940 to reverse this trend. By establishing basketry organizations, California Indian women sought to gain respect for their cultures within the dominant society, while, at the same time, rebuilding pride among the young. Based on 30 years of field research with hundreds of California Indian basketmakers statewide, the present study examines the effectiveness of organizational efforts to renew basketry, as well as impediments to its continued practice, including (1) lack of time to learn and weave, and (2) lack of access to properly managed basketry materials growing in safe areas free from chemical contamination. After detailing these issues and the solutions that California Indians have devised to resolve them, the study illustrates the diverse reasons why California Indians continue to make baskets and the varied ways they learn, through the stories of individual weavers, including biographies of four elder basketmakers whose influence was widespread. The humanity, tenacity, and resourcefulness of the weavers are highlighted, as they continue to find new ways to bring an old practice into the future.

Book Synopsis California Indian Basketry by : Wayne A. Thompson
Download or read book California Indian Basketry written by Wayne A. Thompson and published by Sunbelt Publications. This book was released on 2021 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated photographic overview captures the beauty and artistry of the remarkable world-class, Native American Indian baskets of California, circa 1895 to 1940, known as the Florescence or Flowering. It is a tribute to these artisans and includes biographical snapshots of weavers and portraits of their masterpiece California Indian baskets, which today exist in museums and private collections throughout the United States. Collecting highly complex and artistic Native American baskets became a successful tourist business in the late 19th and early 20th century -- tourism in the United States exploded as a result of the expansion of the railway system to hitherto relatively inaccessible locations. This new business benefitted both collectors of this art form and the weavers who created them. The transition from woven baskets used for utilitarian use to more durable and less expensive metal cookware and storage vessels allowed weavers the time needed to innovate and create baskets specifically catering to tourist interests. During this period of Florescence, some of the world's most intricate, beautiful, and artistic baskets were woven, particularly by highly-talented weavers representing several Native American tribes located throughout California.

Book Synopsis Weaving a Legacy by : Sharon E. Dean

Book excerpt: Situated on the western edge of the Great Basin between the Sierra Nevada and White-Inyo mountain ranges, Owens Valley has been home for thousands of years to the Owens Valley Paiute and their southern neighbors, the Panamint Shoshone. The willow baskets both groups created are noteworthy for their complex construction and durability, and their materials and designs reflected available resources as well as the seminomadic existence that characterized life in the Great Basin for generations. Since the mid-nineteenth-century arrival of non-Indians into the Valley, the baskets have changed. Weaving a Legacy places those changes in the context of the region's dramatic social history. In addition, the volume closely examines basketry techniques and technology, historic weavers and their lineages, contemporary weavers, and basket collectors. The text is extensively illustrated with black-and-white photographs of people, landscapes, and baskets. Among the legacies of these baskets are the stories they evoke, many of which the authors recount in this beautiful work.
