Summary:
"For centuries,
women
artists
of the Wendat
First
Nation of Wendake in
Québec
have created artworks of intricate design and complex meaning in moosehair and quill embroidery. Their work records and transmits ancestral knowledge across generations of
artists
and remains a vibrant and important practice today. Breaking new ground in Indigenous art histories, Wendat
Women
's Arts is the
first
book to bring together a full history of the Wendat embroidery art form. Annette de Stecher challenges the historical anonymity of Indigenous
women
artists
by arguing for a central role for them in community history and ceremony. Through their art, these
women
played an important part in the diplomatic strategies that advanced the sovereignty of their nation, work that was an extension of their position of authority in their families and clans. Chiefs and community members wore finely embroidered attire as a brilliant focus of ceremonial events, a tradition that continues today.
Women
artists
also supported their community economically as their embroidery was a souvenir of choice for European collectors. In vibrant ill., this book reconstructs the rich repertoire of Wendat embroidery now dispersed in collections throughout the world. Wendat
Women
's Arts combines a depth of historical understanding with a keen knowledge of contemporary Wendat
artists
, demonstrating that the story of Wendat
women
is one of cultural strength, innovation, resilience, and success."--Publisher.
