"Decorative Art of Indian Tribes of Connecticut" by Frank G. Speck is an anthropological study published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1915. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the artistic practices and textile art of the Mohegan and Niantic tribes, focusing on their basketry techniques and decorative motifs. It explores the cultural significance of these art forms and offers insights into the materials, methods, and historical context of the decorative arts within these Indigenous communities. The content delves into the various types of baskets created by the tribes, highlighting their unique weaving techniques and the distinctive patterns used in decoration. Speck details the processes involved in basket-making, including the preparation of materials such as brown ash and white oak, and the specialized tools employed in crafting. The book also discusses the painting methods used for embellishing baskets with floral designs, along with a survey of beadwork and wooden artifacts from the Mohegan culture. Through the preservation of these artistic traditions, the book illustrates the rich heritage of Connecticut's Indigenous peoples and their connection to the broader narrative of Native American art.
