These endearing little emissaries personify and spread the spirit of the diverse native people from across North America and into the arctic reaches of Canada. Whether made for childrens' play or as tourists' souvenirs, their colorful dress, ornamentation, and materials are enjoyed by doll collectors and Indian buffs alike. Here more than a hundred different dolls are grouped according to their geographical origins, including Iroquios, Seminole, Cheyenne, Navajo, and Eskimo Indian dolls, shown along with early photographs of the people and places they represent. Also, Skookum dolls, which were made as commercial items, are presented. Together, the dolls make an inspiring group and display the diversity of mankind. Value references are provided for some of the dolls.

A waste of good money,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Indian Dolls (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This was a waste of time and money for me. The Title says for collectors and the cover says with prices. I found it to be a loose collection of pictures with VERY little information on any of the dolls. The vast majority of dolls have no priceing and the few that do have, in my opinion, unrealistic prices. Wondered how a publisher would put money into such a waste until I looked. Self published.

Visual feast only,

This review is from: Indian Dolls (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
This book is a visual feast and has lots of interesting information. I wish the author would have put more info about prices and less about Seminole dolls. I did enjoy it and will use it for reference in the future. Good book in a field that is lacking information (Indian doll collecting).

This review is from: Indian Dolls (A Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)
My wife,Rosemary, learned about Small Spirts at the National Museum of the American Indian New York site (George Gustav Heye Center).When I ordered Small Spirts, Indian Dolls was offered as a companion work. My wife collects American Indian subjects, and finds books like this very useful.
