Product Description

Product Description
Designed for creative individuals, group leaders, and teachers, this informative and unusual book is a guide to the crafts of the main North American Indian tribes in the seven basic cultural areas. Interwoven with the history and customs of the different tribes are instructions that even the novice can follow in making moccasins, dresses, shirts, hats, headbands, hoods, fish nets, bowls, baskets, dolls, masks, kgames, drums, shields, looms for weaving, and jewelry. Other topics covered are hair styles, food, music, names, sign language, and picture writing.'This is a book not only for reading, but for doing', the authors write in their foreword; 'try making some of the things the Indians lived with ...and in so doing come to better understand these first Americans.' Marz and Nono Minor are writers and photographers whose work has appeared in "American History Illustrated", the "Christian Science Monitor", and other periodicals. Nono Minor was formerly an associate curator of Plains Indians for the Kansas City Museum of History and Science.

4.0 out of 5 stars NIce photos and diagrams, info on many tribal traditions, 4 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This is a compact little book, with a moderate amount of photos and diagrams regarding American Indian artifacts. In addiition to giving instructions on how these artifacts were made and how modern reproductions may be made, the authors also explain their use and traditions involved with Indian crafts. One thing that I particularly liked was the emphasis on day to day life of the tribes, and how that was changed by the advent of the white man. A fun and informative chapter near the end of the book tells you how to say some common names and phrases in several languages used by the Delaware, Pawnee, and Dakota tribes, among others. There is also a brief section on sign language and mention of smoke signals. I thought this book was a good introduction for teachers, scout leaders, and other interested individuals to the Native American lifestyle, and was written in a sympathetic and quite readable style.
