The peoples of North America have a rich visual culture which goes back many hundreds, in some cases thousands, of years. From the nomadic hunters and gatherers of the great plains to the fishermen of the Northwest seaboard and the pueblo-dwellers of the dry Southwest, 'The Art Of Native North America' is a lavishly presented celebration of a huge variety of art forms, most of which survive today. After a short introduction covering the history and geographic spread of native American tribes the book features a stunning collection of beautifully reproduced examples of the art of these diverse peoples in all its colourful spendour.
