Ada Mickler and her palmetto hats

Ada Mickler and her palmetto hats
Date
1988-10
Description
Twenty color slides. Images created as fieldwork for the Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2003.

Description
Fifteen color slides. Traditionally, Seminoles baskets were shallow woven from palmetto fronds. Circa 1930, sweetgrass baskets, inspired perhaps by African American arts, were designed to represent 'authentic' Seminole culture for the tourist trade. Over time, they became traditional. Images were taken as part of the Seminole Slide and Tape Project at Immokalee Reservation, located in Everglades, Florida. Slides are numbered 1-18 (missing slides 8, 12, 15). The Immokalee reservation was created in the 1930s, and is one of five Seminole reservations in Florida. 1-18: Prize winning grass baskets created by Ethel Santiago.
