Product Description
Synopsis
As "The Indian Tipi" makes obvious, Plains Indians are both practical people and natural artists. Their inventions are commonly both serviceable and beautiful. The conical tipi of the Plains tribes can be pitched by one person. It is roomy, well ventilated at all times, cool in summer, well lighted, proof against high winds and heavy down-pours, and, with its cheerful fire inside, snug in the severest winter weather. The uniqueness of the Laubin's contribution rests on the fact that they themselves have lived, on and off for many years, in tipis of their own making, and are thus enabled to write from the participant, rather than the observer viewpoint. Reginald and Gladys Laubin have devoted their personal and professional lives to the preservation and interpretation of American Indian dances and culture. They are recognized authorities on and performers of Indian dances and ceremonies. They were presented the Catlin Peace Pipe Award by Red Dawn, Sioux. The authors of "Indian Dances of North America: Their Importance to Indian Life" and "American Indian Archery", the Laubins have also made films and videocassettes about Indian life and customs.
