Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
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.
