A broad overview of traditional Plains and Southwest Native art by Emma I. Hanson emphasizes the importance of religion and spirituality, ideal roles of men and women, and individual achievements and aspirations. Sarah E. Boehme focuses on the fixed, iconic images of the "true Indian" that have persisted in Euro-American art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Gerald T. Conaty and Clifford Crane Bear (Siksika) compare Native and non-Native systems of recording history. James Nottage addresses the impact of popular media -- literature, radio, movies, television, advertising, and theater -- on our perceptions of the Indian. Finally, Mike Leslie considers the theme of identity in contemporary Native American art. A Foreword by Peter Hassrick and Introduction by Dave Warren (Santa Clara/Tewa) complete the book.
