Bleck - nothing but images, not informative!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: North American Indian Designs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is half filled with images, none of which have any descriptions as to which tribe the graphics are from. I am very dissapointed because this book is useless to me as an art teacher. If you want a good book on Tribal designs and motifs, check out another resource by Dover, titled, 'Ready-to-Use North American Indian Motifs.' It has 10 x's more graphics and each image is explained as far as tribe and geographical region.

This review is from: North American Indian Designs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
There are notes for each page of designs detailing where the item was found and to what tribe they belong. There are also notes at the bottom of each "design" page. The information IS here.

North American Indian Designs,
This review is from: North American Indian Designs for Artists and Craftspeople (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I do gourd pyrography and wanted a source of Indian designs to use in my pyrography. This book contains a nice selection and each group of designs includes an explaination of the design and when it was used.
