Rina Swentzell (Santa Clara Pueblo)
A beautifully illustrated short work on the life of a family of potters from Santa Clara Pueblo. The book follows Gia Rose as she and her relatives drive to the mountains to dig for clay; prepare it for working; and fashion pieces that are then polished, sanded, and fired. In addition to the many large, full-color photographs, there are maps of the area and of the 19 pueblos in New Mexico, and designs decorating the large-print text. Swentzell does a good job of demonstrating the family's closeness to nature and to other members in the village. Although the author provides readers with only a glimpse of tradition, there is a list of books for further reading. While the subject will be of special interest to those studying pueblos or New Mexico, and to those interested in pottery, this book also offers a very personal view of what it is like to live today as part of a Native American community.  Grade 3-5.

Northern California's Pomo Indians are numbered among the world's best skilled weavers, and no finer collection of their basket weaving exists than that created by Elsie Allen and her mother, Annie Burke. Basketweavers themselves, these two women broke with the Pomo tradition that buried or destroyed baskets after their owners died, in order to preserve a precious legacy and educate others about Pomo culture. It is the only Pomo basket collection known to have been formed by a weaver, especially for educational purposes. Remember Your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets, Family & Friends is a beautifully printed, full-color book featuring more than a hundred baskets from their collection. Represented are twenty-six master weavers, all Pomo, who lived from the turn of the century to the present. The baskets include those used as cooking and eating utensils, winnowing baskets, fish traps, and cradles. The text of Remember Your Relations describes the lives of the various basketweavers, explaining their relationship to one another and the community which nurtured them. A wealth of archival photos collected from museums and families further deepens our understanding of the Pomo Indian community. - Midwest Book Review

Joel Monture (Mohawk)
"I can think of no recent book about traditional crafts which has delighted me more than Joel Monture's Complete Guide to Traditional Native American Beadwork. All too often, books of this nature are either as boring as a repair manual, or obscure and inaccurate. Monture's triumph is that his book is not only the best and most complete book about virtually every aspect of Native American beadwork tools, materials, styles and methods, it is also clear, interesting reading. Written from the point of view of a Native master craftsman who is also a gifted teacher, and accompanied by striking full-color photos, it can serve as either a beginning point or a lifelong reference tool. I am confident that Monture's book will bring him wide praise, not only from beadworkers, but also from any person who delights in knowing more about the meaning and the history of an indigenous artform which is finally attracting the sort of critical attention and informed appreciation it deserves." - Joseph Bruchac
