A vivid doorway into a living tradition, Aboriginal American Weaving opens a window onto a world where craft and culture are inseparable, and every thread tells a story. This carefully restored edition provides a concise yet rich ethnographic study of indigenous textile craftsmanship, tracing weaving techniques and ceremonial practices across the southwestern United States and Pacific Northwest tribes during early twentieth century America. Mary Lois Kissell's fieldwork text blends meticulous observation with humanising detail, offering readers a clear, accessible portrait of native american textiles, their social meanings, and the artisans who shape them. The result is more than a study; it is an invitation to explore the artistry, knowledge, and cultural resonance embedded in every woven piece. Historically significant as a cornerstone of anthropology fieldwork and as a valuable museum study resource, this work sits at the intersection of scholarship and cultural memory. It will appeal to casual readers drawn to vivid, human narratives, as well as to classic-literature collectors seeking a scholarly yet lyrical account that reads with timeless elegance. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure for anyone who values ethnographic study, indigenous weaving techniques, and the enduring craft of indigenous textile craftsmanship.
