Download or read book Thomas Varker Keam written by Laura Graves and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Varker Keam owned and operated a trading post in Keams Canyon, Arizona Territory, from 1874 to 1902. He was the first trader to develop American Indian arts and crafts as part of his business and the first to suggest that Native artists modify their techniques to increase sales. Keam had a major impact on the evolution of Hopi pottery. Involved in early archaeological work in the Southwest, Keam was the first trader to develop lucrative contacts with museum curators and anthropologists. He sold enormous collections to the Smithsonian Institution, the Field Museum, and the Peabody Museum, as well as several European institutions. An advocate for the Indians, Keam represented the Hopis and Navajos in confrontations with the U.S. government over “civilizing” programs between 1869 and 1902, when the Indians tried to maintain their political and cultural independence. Thomas Varker Keam revised Indian trading so that he and American Indian artists profited.
Download or read book Navajo Weavers of the American Southwest written by Peter Hiller and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-17th century to the present day, herding sheep, carding wool, spinning yarn, dyeing with native plants, and weaving on iconic upright looms have all been steps in the intricate process of Navajo blanket and rug making in the American Southwest. Beginning in the late 1800s, amateur and professional photographers documented the Diné (Navajo) weavers and their artwork, and the images they captured tell the stories of the artists, their homes, and the materials, techniques, and designs they used. Many postcards illustrate popular interest surrounding weaving as an indigenous art form, even as economic, social, and political realities influenced the craft. These historical pictures illuminate perceived traditional weaving practices. The authors' accompanying narratives deepen the perspective and relate imagery to modern life.

Download or read book Navajo Weaving in the Late Twentieth Century written by Ann Lane Hedlund and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Navajos, the holy people Spider Man and Spider Woman first brought the tools for weaving to the People. Over the centuries Navajo artists have used those tools to weave a web of beauty—a rich tradition that continues to the present day. In testimony to this living art form, this book presents 74 dazzling color plates of Navajo rugs and wall hangings woven between 1971 and 1996. Drawn from a private southwestern collection, they represent the work of sixty of the finest native weavers in the American Southwest. The creations depicted here reflect a number of styles—revival, sandpainting, pictorial, miniature, sampler—and a number of major regional variations, from Ganado to Teec Nos Pos. Textile authority Ann Hedlund provides an introductory narrative about the development of Navajo textile collecting—including the shift of attention from artifacts to art—and a brief review of the history of Navajo weaving. She then comments on the shaping of the particular collection represented in the book, offering a rich source of knowledge and insight for other collectors. Explaining themes in Navajo weaving over the quarter-century represented by the Santa Fe Collection, Hedlund focuses on the development of modern rug designs and the influence on weavers of family, community, artistic identity, and the marketplace. She also introduces each section of plates with a description of the representative style, its significance, and the weavers who perpetuate and deviate from it. In addition to the textile plates, Hedlund’s color photographs show the families, landscapes, livestock, hogans, and looms that surround today’s Navajo weavers. Navajo Weaving in the Late Twentieth Century explores many of the important connections that exist today among weavers through their families and neighbors, and the significant role that collectors play in perpetuating this dynamic art form. For all who appreciate American Indian art and culture, this book provides invaluable guidance to the fine points of collecting and a rich visual feast.

Download or read book Din Bibliography to the 1990s written by Howard M. Bahr and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navajo are the largest tribe of Indians in the United States and, due in part to a fascination with their relative isolation, have been analyzed in numerous documentaries. In this timely supplement to the Navajo Bibliography, Howard M. Bahr engages in a unique postmodern approach to his bibliography of the Navajo culture by combining health-related, artistic, economic, religious, social, scientific, and other literature on the Navajo into one study. The bibliography skillfully downplays disciplinary boundaries by unifying literature that has previously only offered separate classification and access. The more than 6,300 entries are selectively annotated and cover Navajo literature from 1970 to 1990, as well as newly discovered literature, including Franciscans' literature, that was not included in the original Navajo Bibliography. This bibliography is not only the most comprehensive bibliography to date in its coverage of more than two decades of new material, but the only source that supplements the professional literature with local and cultural works. An exhaustive resource that effectively doubles the expanse of Navajo literature surveyed and indexed, Diné Bibliography to the 1990s is an invaluable tool that both highlights the literature already available and expands such data to include coverage of genres that have been previously underrepresented.

Download or read book A New Deal for Navajo Weaving written by Jennifer McLerran and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Deal for Navajo Weaving provides a detailed history of early to mid-twentieth-century Diné weaving projects by non-Natives who sought to improve the quality and marketability of Navajo weaving but in so doing failed to understand the cultural significance of weaving and its role in the lives of Diné women. By the 1920s the durability and market value of Diné weavings had declined dramatically. Indian welfare advocates established projects aimed at improving the materials and techniques. Private efforts served as models for federal programs instituted by New Deal administrators. Historian Jennifer McLerran details how federal officials developed programs such as the Southwest Range and Sheep Breeding Laboratory at Fort Wingate in New Mexico and the Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild. Other federal efforts included the publication of Native natural dye recipes; the publication of portfolios of weaving designs to guide artisans; and the education of consumers through the exhibition of weavings, aiding them in their purchases and cultivating an upscale market. McLerran details how government officials sought to use these programs to bring the Diné into the national economy; instead, these federal tactics were ineffective because they marginalized Navajo women and ignored the important role weaving plays in the resilience and endurance of wider Diné culture.
