Yes,
“basket weaving”, leaving out all the old jokes about
athletes in college needing a class they could pass in order to play,
is a very fine and beautiful art.
To be sure, it had to have been born out of necessity in ages
no longer remembered by any human.
Even so, Native Americans, as well as many other “peoples”,
serve up another example of how the human spirit despite its over
abundant penchant for doing things that certainly could be considered
not of “Light”, yet harbors the inner-spirit which enables them to
bring forth items of beauty coupled with functionality from articles
that at best to begin with had to be considered mundane.
How
many styles of Native American basket weaving are there? Forget
that! Far too many for
this old head to try and count. Which
Peoples of the Native Americans wove/weave baskets?
I think it not far from truth to say, all of them.
Who is considered the Best Weavers?
That surely has to be up to the individual. You can find near
vehement arguments, again by so-called Academia, as to this people or
that people, but, if you are wise, you ignore all these and simply
look for yourself and make your own choice.
Enjoy! |
