Book Description:
This volume conveys the extraordinary nature of one of the finest ethnographic collections ever assembled. Hillel Burger's stunning photographs capture the remarkable beauty and craftsmanship of these objects. Four essays provide a rich context for the collections, addressing the complexity, variation, and integrity of North American Indian cultural traditions. Ian Brown describes how the exhibition considers change in Native American lifeways from prehistoric times to the contemporary scene. Despite the overwhelming pressures upon them from white society, Native Americans consistently demonstrated their resilience and adaptive creativity. Bill Holm examines the history and significance of the Kwakiutl portion of the collection. Wilcomb E. Washburn gives consideration to the important issue of the repatriation of Indian relics, and J. J. Brody focuses on the dynamic and expressive aesthetic qualities of Native American artifacts.
