Hill, Sarah H. Weaving New Worlds : Southeastern Cherokee Women and Their Basketry

Cherokee baskets exhibit four distinct traditions, each based on a different local material -- rivercane, white oak, honeysuckle, and maple. The author traces the addition of each material in the context of the womens' lives, ecological processes, social conditions, economic circumstances, and historical eras. 414 pages. Indexed. Both scholarly and accessible.
