Summary:
Art, religion, and function are naturally commingled in the beautiful and useful objects created by the native peoples of North America, and these works reflect a tradition that is still alive -- as evidenced by today's Native American artists -- in not thriving. This volume, illustrated with 119 beautiful full-color reproductions provides a unique look at the rich variety of Native American art from centuries past to the present day.
