Excellent resource!,

This review is from: Authentic Indian Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is a visual encyclopedia of Native designs, from prehistoric to recent history. Tribal art and artifacts are covered from all over, for example, there are images and sketches of Navajo sandpaintings, Eskimo clothing, Pueblo pottery, plus masks, belts, and even just basic designs! If you do beadwork, quillwork, pottery, or other Native arts, this book is a must for your library!

This review is from: Authentic Indian Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
This book is good for those who are in the creative art field i.e. Native American Art. You get a glimpse of the authentic art of the Native American culture. From there it is a small leap into your own creative art projects. Highly recommend this book for such usage.

Not your normal Native Design Book,

This review is from: Authentic Indian Designs (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
I had serious reservations about the authenticity of a 1975 Dover Publications book on Native American art, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality and detail of content. Authentic Indian Designs has one of the most thorough sections on Mississippian and Northwest Coast, Alaska & Arctic I have ever seen. Illustrations, when not black & white pictures, are clearly drawn & easily transferable for most any crafts project. Accompanying descriptions, though brief, at least list the original location & some information about the objects. The smallest section was on Eastern Woodlands in the Historic Period with a total of 11 pages, most on wampum belts & finger weaving/beading. Definitely a well rounded source for Historical reenactors, Native crafts enthusiast & serious Scouts.
