The Spindle Whorl:
A Northwest Coast Indian Art activity Book
Nan McNutt, Sasquatch Books, Seattle. 1997. Paperback.
|
|
We include this booklet because it contains clear illustrated instructions on how students can make designs based on Coast Salish Indian carvings and a spindle whorl of the type used by northwest coast women. The resource begins with a simple story for ages 9 to 11 which brings attention to women's work. Resources such as this, often found in regional history museums, are a valid way to ensure that the experiences of women become part of the curriculum. |
