Native American Basketry
Beverly Sugarman wrote:
While the history of baskets in the Old World can date back to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, basketry was also an important part of the struggle to survive for the people of the New World as well. Practiced by virtually every Native American tribe, many of these people still make baskets in the same fashion that their ancestors have for thousands of years.
In ancient times, baskets were not an art form but a useful tool in the process of gathering grains, fruits, and nuts that was the main diet of many tribal peoples. These baskets were small in size and carried in the hands or were rather large and carried on the back. The women supported these larger containers by the use of a tumpline around the forehead. The wider opening in these baskets allowed the carrier to easily toss the gathered food over their shoulder. There were also special baskets known as creels that were used for carrying fish.
In areas that depended on hunting, people of nomadic tribes were continuously moving, following the game as it migrated. Baskets proved useful in these moves as they could be utilized to carry clothing, tools, and other necessities from campsite to campsite. The baskets that were made by the native women of these tribes were designed with a flat bottom so that these containers could be balanced on the head, freeing the women’s hands so that she could carry other items.
As settlers from Europe changed the lifestyle and living patterns of these Native American people, the older ones taught the younger generation their native skills as a way to cling onto their identity as a people. Basket weaving done by Native American women today is accomplished much in the same fashion that it has been done for centuries.
Most Native American baskets today are made to be sold to non-Native American tourists and collectors. The tribes themselves still use certain baskets for preparing food and for use in religious rituals, but the days of hunting and gathering have disappeared.
Unlike commercially-made baskets, Native American baskets are made from materials that are found in nature. They are weaved from fibers from different plants and trees that are found in the area in which a particular tribe lives. Some tribal weavers also use certain plants to dye the fibers different colors. Finding these materials has also been a challenge for many Native American basket weavers. Due to urban development and pollution, many of these trees and plants do no grow wild as they once did. While ancient weavers could travel by foot to find the items that they needed, modern weavers are discovering that while some of these items are available, they can only be found in areas that are off-limits to them. Many of these materials have also vanished due to the fact that these plants were considered to be useless weeds to anyone but a basket weaver and were thus destroyed.
In a few short years, it may impossible for Native American basket weavers to practice their craft as these materials may totally disappear. It is an art form that will be greatly missed.

We are focusing on music, art and division of activities through gender. Any additional ideas would be great. Is there anyone out there I can interview??

Why The Intricate Native American Beadwork Is Still Popular Today
Gregg Hall wrote:
American Indian beadwork is an art that has been handed down for generations among the different Indian cultures. Their beads were used on moccasins, pipebags, belt bags, used on toy cradles, dolls, and other toys, knife sheaths, and different pieces of clothing. The beadwork varied greatly among the different tribes and individuals but each one was unique in its own way. Each tribe had different colors depending on the dyes available from different plants in the areas in which they lived.
Much of the beadwork and other Indian Pottery and artwork had a meaning behind it and represented something in their lives. Since the American Indians were on the move a lot they could not have breakables of any kind so they would decorate their utensils, blankets, or anything else they could paint, attach beads, carve or decorate in any other way.
They had a gift of imagination and handiwork second to none and there are still many beautiful pieces of artwork made years ago. Some of these can be found on the market for purchase and there are many pieces in museums around the country. To us today, the beadwork is just beautiful pieces of jewelry, etc., but to them they meant much more. it was a way of life for them. It was a way for each one to express themselves. The history of each tribe is a story in itself and it is very interesting to study them.
There is still many people doing beadwork today and many of them are decedents of the American Indians of days gone by but their spirit lives on in their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Beadwork and other works of art that the American Indians did should never die. Hopefully the offspring of the pioneers will continue on with the traditions and artwork.
Back then it was a necessity for survival but today it is just a hobby but it is at least still being utilized. Before beadwork was introduced into the Indians way of life, they used mainly paints made of dyes from different plants and flowers, shell, and porcupine quills. Quillwork was a sacred art of the Native American Plains tribes.
Clothing, utensils and other devices were decorated. It was not until the mid eighteen hundreds that designs began to change. Some of the tribes today who still do beadwork are Pueblo, Five Civilized Tribes, Shoshone, Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and many more. Surprisingly enough there is still a lot of beadwork being produced by hand by these tribe’s people. These people are proud and they want their offspring to remember their elders and their traditions from long ago. Beadwork is one way to remind the American Indians of today of who they are and where they came from. It is so thrilling that they have such beautiful art to live on through their heirs.

Native American Paintings
Donald Whitenite wrote:
Native American painting can be traced back for thousands of years. Paintings upon bones, stone, and skin represent the first attempts at painting made by Native Americans. Their painting continues today as more and more people around the world are mesmerized by Native American art, renowned not only for the unique situations and people that it portrays, but also for its stunning use of colors, breathtaking compositions, and ability to tell a story in pictures.
Traditional paintings by Native Americans were used to adorn everyday items. These paintings often expressed life through the eyes of the hunter or the warrior. Most art created by Native Americans, including paintings, reflected themes of their specific religious beliefs. One form of Native American painting, known as sandpainting, was (and still is) created during a religious ceremony. Because it is offensive to create such sandpaintings for the specific purpose of resale, sandpaintings offered on the market of today contain purposeful errors that distinguish them from the authentic sandpainting associated with the ceremony.
More recently, Native American painters have adapted their styles of painting to reflect a more modern notion of the craft, emphasizing the importance of color, line, and brush control with les focus on background or perspective. In most Native American paintings, the artist focuses on the subject of the painting, such as a figure, and the active part that the figure is playing in the scene portrayed, rather than what is going on in the background. By blending bold colors with earthy hues, these artists are able to provide aesthetically pleasing pieces that at once grab the attention and often entertain or fascinate the observer. These paintings tell stories of love, hate, birth, nature, life, and death as they introduce those viewing them to a culture that might be richer than any other on earth.
Other artists have also been able to capture the spirit of the Native American peoples in their rendering, portraying traditional scenes such as village life, ceremonies, and battles, as well as the joys and sorrows of by-gone periods in Native American history. Paintings depicting customs and traditions are also very popular.
Works by traditional Native American artists as well as others who have mastered painting in the Native American style make clandestine additions to any collection. Fortunately, for those who cannot own an original, there are options available. The best of these is the giclee print. The giclee printing process provides the highest quality reproductions in the industry, typically with reprints made on-demand only from digital images using a spray burst of paint onto canvas or other mediums. Giclee prints are of such quality that you can find them in art galleries and museums. Giclee prints rival the original painting for a fraction of the price. Additionally, there are many fine reproductions made by the way of prints of the original. These prints are highly detailed and true to the colors of the original work.

Donkeyland, Minnesota (Part Eight – Ideas of a Young Man, and Girls)
Dennis Siluk Ed.D. wrote:
(Part Eight)(Concerning: Chick Evens, Nancy Pit, and Girls, 1964)
In Two Pieces
Chick Evens lived with his mother and Grandfather to the age of eighteen, the Grandfather being of Russian stock, with a peculiar pallid complexion. The house in which they lived stood on an embankment with huge trees beyond where the garage was, in Donkeyland. And Ernest Manning had a daughter Jill, and Jill had a friend Nancy Pit. And it was the summer of 1964, and they met that summer; Nancy was one year older than Chick, and her parents were from Hibbing, Minnesota, she was of Irish stock, as was Evens, Irish and Russian.
At this point in time, Evens’ life was like a tiny if not modest volcano that lies silent, but could abruptly shoot out fire. No, he wasn’t quite like that-he was more like loose cannon, rolling around freely on a ship in a storm, subject to outbursts, one who walks among his fellow men with that strange and uncanny state of affairs on his face, eyes staring and mind seemingly in a tugging mode.
He was similar to that, built with smooth and rolling muscles, only that this new visitation that descended upon him Nancy Pit, was a mental and not a physical thing and she seemed to quiet his insides. He was beset by ideas they could be in love, the idea of love, not sure if it was really his idea, but it could come to near uncontrollable states. Words rolled and tumbled from his mind, but never came out of his mouth. A strange grin came upon his face when they lay together over upon Indians mound, in the high grass on an Indian blanket, the edges of her lips seemed to paralyze his face, she actually glistened in the moon’s light. She wanted to make love, but Evens feared he’d get her pregnant, and end up having to marry her. And although that wasn’t a bad idea, at his age there’d be no escape. The excited girl breathed into his face, peered into his eyes, milled upon his chest with a shaking body, pretty much demanding and compelling attention, and she got all of that, but not consummated love, in its complete form, and I would guess, her hormones were going wild.
In those days the neighborhood was full of girls and Evens was doing his share of dating once Nancy Pit had gone back to her hometown. She would within a few years, marry and have children, and Evens would never see her again. It would be, eighteen months, and he’d meet Barb Ergot, and they’d date for a summer season, and she’d join the neighborhood gang, and they’d marry for fifteen months, and that would be the end of that marriage. It would seem, looking back, those who married from the neighborhood, their marriages lasted the longest, those who married outside vanished in a much shorter time. Perhaps there is something to that.
The Girls
David Myers, would marry one of the neighborhood girls (and it would last to the end of his days, a forty-year marriage), by the name of Nancy, and Roger would marry a girl from outside the neighborhood and bring her inside of it (that didn’t last). And Jill Manning would marry someone outside of the neighborhood, and good for her, she was getting a bad reputation in Donkeyland. Oh she didn’t do anything any of the guys wasn’t doing, but she was doing it, and started doing it at a young age. And there was Pizza Face, and everyone was screwing her, so it seemed, and she was laughing at everyone, and she was as ugly as the top of a pizza. Evens had never seen her, and had asked, “Why is everyone screwing her, and calling her such an ugly name?” and Roger and Doug took Chick Evens to the corner of Cayuga Street, waited for her to ride by, and when this young girl rode by on her bicycle, one of the two said to Evens, “Well, what do you think?” and Evens replied, “I understand now…” he replied, but he couldn’t understand why they were screwing her, if that is what they thought of her. But in time, and through maturity, he’d learn, even an ugly duckling, as long as she was female, had something someone wanted; and the only other prerequisite was patience.
Vicky Schultz, also got that same kind of reputation like Jill, but somehow got out of Dodge, before she was scorned to death. Evens used to go over to her house, back in 1958 thru 1960, she was a few years older, and wasn’t a bad looking girl, and they both took a liking for one another. As did Kathleen Bird, Big Bopper’s sister, during the High School years at Washington High. She was a nice looking girl, and had spunk, and a nice shape, she might have been an inch taller than him, if not the same size as Evens, but kisses was all that arose from that relationship, and a long term friendship.
And Larry married Jennie St. John, and Mouse married Jackie St. John, and Sam, Larry’s younger brother-thin as a bean, mellow, married another Nancy, who lived on Cayuga Street, across from their home. And Sid, who had been dating Eva, had stopped and was dating some woman outside of the neighborhood named Jody, a short Italian looking girl, with big hug breasts, too huge for that little body of hers, and during their separation, he went out one evening with two other guys to Hudson Wisconsin, driving back from to St. Paul, all three drunk as skunks, got themselves killed.

Native American paintings painted by American Indians are highly popular in the United States and other countries. Many tourists purchase them as a souvenir or a gift for their loved ones. Native American paintings are contemporary and unique. Traditional native paintings were less prominent and were merely used to adorn functional items. The most popular form of ancient Native American painting is Navajo Indian sand painting. The art of Navajo sand painting has been passed on to future generations and was originally a magnificent religious art.
Contemporary Navajo artists make commercial versions of the conventional sand paintings. Other modern artists are greatly influenced by Western painting styles to illustrate their art. They portray their perception of worldly things and people using modern technique and vibrant colors. They have combined traditional designs and styles with modern techniques to form excellent masterpieces. Their tribal heritage is reflected in their work of art.
Many non-Native painters paint ordinary pictures and sell them as Native American pieces of art. They are usually fake artists who try to make a fast buck by trying to copy work of other artists.
To buy original prints or Native American paintings, buyers can research on the Internet. They can verify the credibility of the art sites and even check for customer feed back. Buyers have the option of going through various details of the painting such as the colors used, the style, and the artist. Many sites provide the names of eminent Native American artists and offer information about various art websites that sell authentic paintings. Buyers from other countries can also purchase their favorite painting through these websites. Many online art suppliers charge separately for handling and shipping while some may offer free services depending on the location and the type of painting.
Some of the well-known Native American artists are Joanne Swanson, L. David Eveningthunder, Dana Tiger, and Urshel Taylor. Jerome Bushyhead was also very famous for contemporary portraits and timeless paintings.
