Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Offering more information about Seminole and Miccosukee art than can be found in any existing resources, this book fills a large gap in published accounts of these two enduring Southeastern U.S. Indian groups. While revealing these arts as much more than just tourist craftwork, Downs?who has curated many exhibits of Seminole and Miccosukee art throughout Florida?takes care to elaborate on how artistic traditions have changed since the 18th century because of exposure to the dominant European American culture as well as slave culture. Unfortunately, the text is much better than the choice and quality of the accompanying illustrations. The color reproductions are the best, but they are mainly reserved for depicting types of dress. This is ironic given that, while Seminole ribbon and embroidered dress is the best known of the native arts, this book is particularly valuable for its treatment of other forms, including beadwork, silverwork, basketry, doll making, and pottery. The need for better illustrations aside, this publication will be a useful acquisition for academic, public, and school libraries with collections on Native American culture.?Paula A. Baxter, NYPL

5.0 out of 5 stars the best out there, June 13, 2003
By A Customer
While I would have preferred more illustrations, this is still one of the best books out there on Seminole art and artifacts. This is a must have if you are interested in Seminole material culture. Such a shame it is out of print.
