The Turnbaughs supplement these authentic Native accounts with their own introductions."

They include many original and never-before-published images that depict Native artisans and their baskets." "Woven together into one unique volume, these stories, commentaries, and illustrations document the rich heritage of Native North American basketry as no other book has done.
