"""Making a Chaputs describes a clever, amazing tradition rooted in deep respect for the forest and a lifetime of Indigenous knowledge -- a highly recommended book!""-- Kathryn Bernick, Archaeologist and author of numerous books including Waterlogged: Examples and Procedures for Northwest Coast Archaeologists and Basketry and Cordage from Hesquiat Harbour ""Joe Martin's work reflects the generationally linked traditions found in Salish Sea archaeological sites going back thousands of years. He has passed this paramount art on through Native apprentices and, here, in his own words, with esteemed colleague Alan Hoover. When tracing ancient basketry styles in the archaeological waterlogged/wet sites of the Salish Sea for thousands of years, we defined our approach as Generationally-Linked Archaeology. As seen at the Makah Ozette Village archaeological wet site from ca. 1700, preserved chaputs canoe models reflect this West Coast tradition a full 16 generations back. Joe Martin, Tia-o-qui-aht First Nation Elder and master canoe carver, best reflects these generationally linked traditions, constructing over 60 full-size chaputs, passing this paramount art on through Native apprentices and, here, in his own words, with esteemed curator and author Alan Hoover.""--Ed Carriere and Dale R. Croes, Co-authors of Re-Awakening Ancient Salish Sea Basketry"
