Description

Don McQuiston, Debra McQuiston, & Lynn Bush (au); Tom Till (ph). With more than 130 color photographs & an illuminating text, this book celebrates the lush landscape of the Pacific Northwest & the rich artistic heritage of its native people. The abundant resources of the Northwest Coast allowed the Native Americans living there to develop a sophisticated society in which art played a large part. Even the most utilitarian object was crafted with an eye to beauty. The totem poles, ceremonial masks, dance blankets, dugout canoes, & other unique items crafted by the more than two dozen tribes who lived there are depicted in this book. It includes a lively look at the potlach, a central event in the world of each tribe.
