"What makes this work exceptional is the color photography, use of illustrations and diagrams, and maps. One really gets the sense that this is a labor of love for the authors and that they did painstakingly thorough research while writing this book. This book is highly recommended for the Native American collections of academic and public libraries." --American Reference Books Annual 2012 Arts and Crafts of the Native American Tribes is the authoritative illustrated reference that has been carefully created to be a companion to Encyclopedia of Native Tribes of North America. It examines in detail how Native American culture evolved and considers the regional similarities and differences of the arts and crafts created by tribes across the continent. Contemporary and modern photographs, fine line illustrations and step-by-step reconstructions show the techniques of manufacture and display the skill and artistry of the crafters. The book opens with concise coverage of the main cultural areas of North America and a survey of styles by region and over time. A major section on the living structures -- huts, tipis, igloos, etc. -- is followed by an analysis of individual crafts. These include: Baskets: plaiting, twining, coiling Bone, antler and horn: implements, tools, pins, fishhooks Decorative arts: beadwork, porcupine quillwork Featherwork: bonnets and headdresses Metalwork: copper, silver, iron, gold Pottery Shellwork Skinwork: rawhide, leather, furs Stonework: arrowheads, pipes, art Textiles: spinning, weaving Woodwork: totems, figures, masks, utensils, working with bark.
