This exciting new investigation explores the indigenous arts of the US and Canada from the early pre-contact period to the present day, stressing the conceptual and iconographic continuities over five centuries and across an immensely diverse range of regions. The richness of Native American art is emphasized through discussions of basketry, wood and rock carvings, dance masks, and beadwork, alongside the contemporary vitality of paintings and installations by modern artists such as Robert Davidson, Emmi Whitehorse, and Alex Janvier.
'the best guide yet to understanding the complexities of Native North American art. a solidly ground, sophisticated history, combining art history, anthropology, and cultural studies. splendidly well-written. useful and timely.' Gerald McMaster, Curator of Art, Canadian Museum of Civilization
