"Sewing & Survival" by Teresa Duryea Wong is a thoroughly researched narrative based on original sources, including diaries, personal letters, and other notes, that highlights Native American voices. While quilting skills were forced on some women, others came to quilting willingly. Equally compelling is the fact that quilting remains popular in Native communities today, and quilts are, in fact, the cornerstone of Indigenous give-away traditions. Makers today have turned their artistic talent to creating gorgeous contemporary art quilts and powerful story quilts that are coveted by museums and collectors
