River-cane baskets woven by the Chitimachas of south Louisiana are admired for their beauty and workmanship. Recounting friendships that Chitimacha weaver Christine Paul (1874–1946) sustained with two non-Native womenat different parts of her life, this book offers a rare vantage point into the lives of American Indians in the segregated South.
