Many of the objects we use each day were made via the process of weaving, which is an ancient textile art. The clothes on our backs, the blankets we sleep under and the rugs on our floors are just a few of the woven products we use regularly without really stopping to think about how they were made. The truth is that if weaving had never been invented we would still be relying on animal skins to keep us warm.
Weaving started thousands of years ago and still now, the technique has kept much of its original form. Although there are now several tools and modern equipment that can make patterns faster and more evenly, you can still find hand-woven products made from different parts of the globe. You will find that the design will change depending on the source and the creator. Weaving is still very much the same as it was millennia ago.

In this innovative study, Sarah Hill illuminates the history of Southeastern Cherokee women by examining changes in their basketry. Based in tradition and made from locally gathered materials, baskets evoke the lives and landscapes of their makers. Indeed, as Weaving New Worlds reveals, the stories of Cherokee baskets and the women who weave them are intertwined and inseparable. Incorporating written, woven, and spoken records, Hill demonstrates that changes in Cherokee basketry signal important transformations in Cherokee culture.Over the course of three centuries, Cherokees developed four major basketry traditions, each based on a different material—rivercane, white oak, honeysuckle, and maple. Hill explores how the addition of each new material occurred in the context of lived experience, ecological processes, social conditions, economic circumstances, and historical eras. Incorporating insights from written sources, interviews with contemporary Cherokee weavers, and a close examination of the baskets themselves, she presents Cherokee women as shapers and subjects of change. Even in the face of cultural assault and environmental loss, she argues, Cherokee women have continued to take what they have to make what they need, literally and metaphorically weaving new worlds from old.
