Abstract
Hopi silversmithing is discussed by noting its historical development and present status. A detailed description of the technology of the craft is given. The economics of the craft and the form and design of the jewelry is analyzed, contrasting the two major producers. Analysis of production draws upon Systems Theory to illucidate the function and structure of the units in relation to the craft. Chapters on Indian silverworking in the United States, the current situation in the Southwest, and a brief description of the Hopi are included.
