For Native American Heritage Month this week, we are focusing on Cherokee instruments.

Cherokees have long used musical instruments as part of their sacred traditions with pipes, flutes, drums, rattles, and whistles having spiritual significance. They made their ceremonial instruments using natural resources such as gourds and logs. The introduction of new instruments in the 18th century changed Cherokee music and their compositions have come to include the the fiddle, percussion, guitar, mandolin, and other instruments.

The photo is an example of a ganatsedi (gourd rattle) made from a gourd and cherry wood. It is courtesy of Mathers Museum of World Cultures.

For Native American Heritage Month this week, we are focusing on Ojibwe beadwork.

Ojibwe beadwork focuses on the natural beauty of the woodlands as seen through the flower motifs artists have and continue to utilize. One of the most common motifs is the five-petal flower which can be created using a variety of colors and may or may not include leaves. Some items that can feature beadwork include moccasins, bandolier bags, tobacco bags, and articles of clothing.

The photo is an example of a beaded placket and beaded cuffs and is courtesy of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Today we honor Nigerian author Chinua Achebe on what would be his 93rd birthday. He is best known for his first novel, Things Fall Apart, which was published in 1958 and is the first book in the "African Trilogy." His first children's book was Chike and the River which was published in 1966. He wrote the book due to concerns regarding how Africa was being portrayed in Nigerian schools. His body of work earned him the Man Booker International Prize in 2007. He passed away in 2013.

For Native American Heritage Month this week, we are focusing on Washoe baskets, degikup.

Degikup were traditionally watertight baskets that were used to store various foods including soups and drinks. They have also had a ceremonial use and were given as gifts of thanks to singers and dancers. Since the early 20th century, however, the focus on degikup has been more about creating artworks for non-Native people with one of the most well-known examples being the owners of a men's clothing store in Nevada began selling baskets woven by a Washoe woman, Louisa Keyser. The store marketed Keyser's through her Wahoe name Dat So La Lee and creating a fictional background.

The photo is an example of a degikup made with coiled willow and bracken fern. It is courtesy of Daderot via Wikimedia Commons.

For Native American Heritage Month this week, we are focusing on Navajo rugs.

Navajo mythology says the Navajo people were taught to weave thanks to Spider Woman (Na'ashjé'íí Asdzáá). However, they learned thanks to the Pueblo Indians in the late 1600s. One of the Navajos' oldest woven products was dresses that used two woven blankets to make a sleeveless dress that belted at the waist. The Spanish inspired them to used indigo dye and simple striping patterns. The Navajo also used trades to acquire baize (a special red cloth manufactured in England) to use in their woven garments and rugs.

The photo is an example of a rug woven in the banded pound blanket style and is courtesy of the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Circulation Alert!

The Sullivan Library is migrating to a new library system this week. As a result of that, our regular circulation system will not be active this Wednesday, November 8th.

If you come to the Circulation Desk to check out a book on 11/8, we will be keeping a paper sheet record of your item and will manually add it to your account the next day.

This will not affect any of our other services, but it may take a little longer than usual to check out items--thank you for your understanding!

Everything will be up and running as normal on Thursday, November 9th.

Native American Heritage Month officially began ye

Native American Heritage Month officially began yesterday and today we bring you the first of five posts highlighting different tribes and their culture.

Today we are focusing on the Hopi and their pottery. The tribe's tradition of pottery making can be traced as far back as 700 CE with three main styles (black on white, black on red, and polychrome) being passed down through the generations. Hopi pottery is handmade using the coil and scrape technique and the designs are painted free hand using a yucca leaf brush. There are some Hopi pottery that are ceremonial use only and should not be sold, bought, or placed on display for public consumption. Most older examples of Hopi pottery were taken from burial sites and the Hopi people would like to see them returned to their tribe.

The photo is an example of a small coiled pot (made by the Hopi Tewa potter Leah Nampeyo) and is courtesy of Mathers Museum of World Cultures.
