Industry Reviews
This lavishly illustrated collection of essays on Native American and Hawaiian quilters and quilting had its beginnings in an exhibit of the same name held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and touring through the year 2001. Until recently, the study of native quilting traditions was largely ignored by ethnographers, who concentrated their attention on aspects of Native American culture thought to be less influenced by contact with European culture. It is only in recent decades that quilting has been recognized as an important part of Native American and Hawaiian cultures. Photographs of 180 quilts along with 96 fascinating documentary photographs are included. Highly recommended for academic and large public library collections.
Moore
MacDowell, Dewhurst, and other authors explore many facets of quilting in communities as diverse as Native Hawaiian, Lakota, Hopi, Mohawk, and Eskimo. The history of quiltmaking, the uses of quilts, many quiltmakers, and a number of quilting groups are discussed. In addition, the book profiles three Native quiltmakers. . . . The pictures emphasize the artistry of the quilts, while the text, especially the chapters written by people about their own communities, provides a great many details about contemporary Native life. Unfortunately, the book is marred by a number of glaring errors, such as mislocating Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota, in South Dakota, and referring to the Calico Country Quilt Guild of Fort Berthold Reservation rather than the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Reservation. All levels.
