- Native American basketry has long been viewed as a community craft, yet the artistic quality and value of these baskets are on par with other fine art. Now Native peoples across the country are revitalizing basketry traditions and the country looks to California as a leader in basket weaving revitalization. There has been a revival in traditional basket weaving, thanks to the work of the California Indian Basketweavers Association (CIBA), which was founded in 1992 under the slogan “keeping the tradition alive.” This episode was made in partnership with the Autry Museum of the American West and CIBA.

I just ordered a bunch of supplies to make pine needle baskets... and these women... I am such weak sauce. This is such a beautiful art form and it is so much more spectacular that it survived so much darkness.
I have the utmost respect for all basket weavers. I craft (mostly crochet, cross-stitch, and painting) and I have always just gone to the store and bought my supplies. To actually go out and collect the materials and modify them so that they can be made into a basket, makes me that there is a much deeper connection between the artist and the competed object. The designs on these baskets is absolutely phenomenal. I don't think I have adequate words to express how absolutely impressed and in awe I am. To know when to begin and stop using different colors and materials to get the desired pattern is something beyond my imagination. I am so grateful that this artistry is still here and honored that I was able to see this video.
That’s why I think the plants talk to weavers -(GATHERERS-are watchers and protectors) - and so much more - I can’t stop weaving- it’s like I have to feed something TACTILE NOW
A documentary as beautiful as the weavers and the weaver's work. I have recently joined the California Indian Basket Weavers Association & I can not wait to attend the 2018 Gathering

I've been interested in learning basket weaving for many years, oh to have an Auntie. It would be such a privilege to learn from a master. Loved this film, thank you.

You guys really need to get a hold of Noel Grayson the bow maker. He has some videos on you tube I'd recommend watching them all. The way he talks and how he talks and his smile will captivate the most hard of hearts. He is an amazing person.

I've been making baskets for a while now. My Grandmother was haud ne shan ne Seneca. I live in an urban landscape so I've found long leaf pineneedle as a source. Grandma lived In Pennsylvania, she had to leave her people because she took the Jesus road. I'm a Christian but I miss the culture, I feel something is missing.

😢❤
I would like to come and visit. What State are you in. You did Excellent.
Im not gonna read through all the comments and i quickly went through the big lines of the video, but why is everybody obssessed with the basket design, i thought this video would show HOW to make a basket, because the purpose of the basket is to forage food, which i believe is at the heart of all of this. Im hungry thats why id like to make a basket
In order to learn to make a basket, you’d have to go to the masters and see if they’ll teach you. Native people are secretive as this is a sacred part of our culture. You can’t just make the basket. You have to build a relationship with the plants. Each person in this video has done so.
I would love to contact these artists can you link me to their websites or profiles?
It fells so at odds to the description of baskets as objects of use to see them hoarded away inside warehouses away from their communities of use
No, the Western perspective does not say that something can't be high art if it has a function. Lots of Western art was religious art, which definitely had a function - to teach or inspire or persuade or for use in religious ceremonies. And in a broad sense, all art has a function - to enlighten, to entertain, to provide enjoyment, to provoke thought, to educate, to express an idea or emotion, to provide income, or whatever. What the Western perspective does say is that something can be high art regardless of whether it also has a more practical function or not.
I agree - that quote missed the point. I think that art is producing something new and therefore more about the process than the product. Craft is repetitive and more about the product than the process. I have a hard time defining the boundary between art and craft, but I think that being uncomfortable with the boundary isn't a bad thing.
I believe the speaker was referring to instrumental function. The baskets were used in the preparation and storage of food (among other things) and also happened to be highly decorative. Form of the speaker's utterance aside, it's culturally understood that art from a Western lens is deemed to be something that, as you put it, enlightens, entertainments, educates, etc., but very rarely do we (from a Western perspective) deem scissors, pillow shams, and rugs; all which have utility and can incorporate ornamental design elements; as "high art". Even utilitarian pieces, such as meticulously painted dishware, are reserved in an armoire somewhere to be gazed at and seldom used.
@@travisgiusenguyen7532 I've been to many fine arts museums where exhibits of Western high art include clothing, textiles, furniture, dinner ware, glassware, arms and armor, guns, objects used in religious rituals, objects used to prepare and store food, objects used for transportation, etc. Just visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in DC, or the Fine Arts Museums in San Francisco and you will see them.
Does anyone know what thread their using to make these coil baskets I've been trying to find out for a while now. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP
I use waxed bamboo or flax thread.
Pass the skill on. That's your calling. Manifacture as much as you want. But if you don't pass it on it will die and vanish the same as your ancestors. So make sure this does not become forgotten. Make sure her legend survives! ❤
Salut
I am desirous to purchase a couple hundred of them. Do you think this would be possible?

In Germany we also distinguish between "Kunst" (Art), "Kunsthandwerk" (Handicraft) and "Handwerk" (Craft).
Also it is important if it is done by a layman or a master...
Things made by an Artist are onla art, when the artist has studied at an university.
So most of our Art isn`t Art at all!
(Because back in the old times/stone age/roman....were no universities!!!)
Can't find that word thooli OR tooli or toile OR chuli, chooli .... .... Anyway how do you spell tat word?
tule
About half way through this video becomes very focused on loss of supplies and land due to colonization and less about the baskets and weaving . 😢
Lo
The names should be changed from "art" and "craft" to "art" and "functionless art."
Очень некачественные съемки. Темно, плохо видно.
John 11:25-26 (KJV) Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
