Abstract:
Cherokee Indians in Asheville still practice the time-honored tradition of basket weaving. A skill that takes years to hone, basket weaving is not for the impatient. It takes hours to prepare the wood splints for weaving, to say nothing of the dyeing process. The designs are all in the heads of the Indians who make the baskets. Several skilled weavers teach classes at Haywood Technical Institute.

Abstract:
The traditional arts and crafts of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee people, originally functional or ritual in use, are attractive to modern peoples for their fine quality and decorativeness. They are valued not only for their beauty but because they embody the Cherokee traditions. A major force in the continuation and appreciation of the traditional crafts of the Eastern Band has been the Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, a craftpersons' cooperative in the town of Cherokee under the management of Betty DuPree.

Depending on the material and purpose of the basket, the Cherokee use three types of weaving in the baskets--twilling (rivercane), checker work (white oak), and wicker work (honeysuckle). There are two types of rivercane baskets--single weave and double weave.
