At the time of its publication in 1908, Pomo Indian Basketry was the most complete and detailed study of a single Native American basketry tradition. The work, prepared as Samuel Barrett's doctoral dissertation, earned the author the first Ph.D. in anthropology at UC Berkeley. Among its contents are sections devoted to materials, techniques, forms, and designs. This edition is supplemented with two early articles, "Basket Designs of the Pomo Indians" by Barrett (1905) and "California Basketry and the Pomo" by his teacher Alfred Kroeber (1909). Sherrie Smith-Ferri's introduction reviews Barrett's early life and research and identifies the human sources of Barrett's collections and information--a community of talented Pomoan basket weavers. Sherrie Smith-Ferri (Dry Creek Pomo/Bodega Miwok) is a curator at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah, California.

Excerpt from How to Make Baskets: With a Chapter on "What the Basket Means to the Indian" The twisting and weaving of Nature's materials, grasses, twigs, rushes and vines into useful and beautiful forms seems almost instinctive in man. Perhaps it came to him as the nest-weaving instinct comes to birds - for at first he used it as they do, in the building of his house. Later shields and boats were formed of wicker work but how long ago the first basket was made no one is wise enough to tell us. Today Indian tribes in South America weave baskets from their native palms, South African negroes use reeds and roots, while the Chinese and Japanese are wonderful workmen in this as in other arts and industries; but basketry has come down to us more directly through the American Indian. Generations of these weavers have produced masterpieces, many of which are preserved in our museums, and the young basket maker need not go on long pilgrimages to study the old masters of his craft. Here at last, as in England, the value of manual training is being realized, and basketry is taking an important place.

Excerpt from Indian Basketry: With 360 Illustrations A few hundred years ago our own ancestors were aborigines, they wore skins for clothes; wove baskets; lived in wicker and skin huts or in caves; ate nuts, herbs, acorns, roots and depended upon the fortunes of the chase for their meats, just as the Amerind of the present and past generations are doing and have done. Hence, as Indian baskets are woven by human beings, akin to ourselves, and are used by them in a variety of relations of intensely human interest, we are studying humanity under its earliest and simplest phases, such phases as were probably manifested in our own ancestral history -when we intelligently study Indian Basketry.

Excerpt from Basketry Designs of the Indians of Northern California One of the earliest-noted and prime characteristics of the Indians of California is the great development among them of the art of basket-making. Not only did they excel in technique, in producing water-tight baskets of both the coiled and twined varieties, but also in the extent to which they developed the purely artistic side of basket-making in the elaboration of designs and methods of ornamentation. Carving and painting were, as far as we know, not numbered among the arts of this portion of the Pacific coast; pottery was unknown; and decoration in dress was, if we except the feather ornaments used at dances, as a rule, of the simplest sort in comparison with the elaborate and often profuse dec oration found among many of the Indians of the plains. The California Indians were, therefore, practically confined, for the expression of their artistic sense, to basketry alone; and possi bly this concentration of effort will afford a partial explanation, at least, of the great perfection to which the art was carried. But, while we find that basket-making and basketry design and ornamentation are characteristic of the California Indians as a whole, these arts were not developed to the same extent, or along the same lines, in all parts of the region. We can. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Excerpt from How to Make Indian and Other Baskets: Indian Basketry, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in Arizona, the Indians of the Painted Desert Region, Travelers' Handbook to Southern California, Etc;, Etc Just now the making of Indian and other baskets is a fad. Like all other fads it will have its day and then die. But unlike many fads there is something in the making of baskets that will keep the art alive, when those who practised it merely as a fad have forgotten that they ever were interested in it. It is singularly appropriate that I, the son of my father, should write a treatise on basket making. The earliest remembrances of my life are connected with that art, as my father was a basket maker, not simply a trader in baskets, but personally a skilled workman himself. My oldest brother, too, learned the art and was a good workman. Well do I remember, as a child, a season when coal was dear and scarce, as during the recent Eastern coal strike. My father, always a man of originality, rose at once to meet the occasion, and made a mixture of coal dust and the thick ends or nubbins cut from the ends of new splints or weavers introduced into the coarse kinds of baskets. We used the old-fashioned English grates, and after a fire of coals was well alight my father would take a coal scuttle full of this mixture which he called backing, and throw it up on the top of the fire and well back into the throat of the chimney. In half an hour or less it would be a bed of fire, throwing its grateful heat into the cold room and cheering all who came within its influence. Two of his workmen were father and son, named Fields. The young man was "Lige," and into my youthful ears he used to pour his tales of woe at the hardships of a basket-makers life. In the making of some of the larger and coarser baskets the bottoms, after being started, were pinned through the center with a large steel bodkin to a heavy flat board, and, treading on the work itself the weavers were woven in, the worker bending down almost double over the work. When I bent over for a few minutes my childish back seemed to be broken, and when I asked Lige how he could endure it for hours at a time his solemn asseveration was that he'd had his backbone taken out, or he never could do it. After I came to the United States the work of the Paiuti Indians soon arrested my attention, and I began the studies which culminated two years ago in the publication of my "Indian Basketry." Now that the work of Basket Making is being taken up in earnest, I wish to do my share in helping it along by making a book of helpful instructions and hints that will be worthy the dignity of the subject. It has been my purpose in arranging the following pages to introduce all the stitches, practically usable, from the simplest to the most complex.
