| 520 | _a"Textile Fibers used in Eastern Aboriginal North America" by A. C. Whitford is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century, specifically published in 1941. This work explores the use of various plant fibers by Eastern Indigenous peoples of North America, particularly focusing on those located east of the Mississippi River. The book is part of the Anthropological Papers series from the American Museum of Natural History, providing valuable insight into the textile traditions and material culture of these communities. The book delves into an extensive survey of the plant fibers identified from archaeological and ethnological collections, detailing the characteristics, applications, and variations of these materials among different tribes. Whitford categorizes fibers into monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous species, each with specific examples of usage, such as palmetto for cordage or basswood for textiles. The text emphasizes the resourcefulness of Indigenous peoples in utilizing local plant abundances, noting historical and contemporary practices, and how advancements in textile skills have emerged from prehistoric to modern times. The findings underline the cultural significance of fiber use and illustrate the sophisticated techniques developed for fiber preparation and application in daily life and ceremonial contexts.
