Through personal interviews, archival research and artist surveys, information was collected in 25 fields, including the artist's tribe, clan, active years, type of baskets, lifespan, family relationships, education, teachers, students, awards, exhibitions, collections, forms, techniques, materials, favorite designs and publications. Many artists completed a personal statement, ""I enjoy creating artwork, because..."" Some wrote or narrated autobiographical statements.
