Aboriginal American Weaving

Published in 1910, 'Aboriginal American Weaving' by Mary Lois Kissell is an analytical study of traditional weaving techniques among Indigenous peoples in North America. The book, presented at the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers' meeting, contrasts native weaving methods with modern textile practices, focusing on materials and cultural significance. Kissell details various techniques, including the creation of cedar bark mats and Chilkat blankets, while exploring the communal and environmental aspects of these artistic traditions.
